Mystery and Crime Camp, Wadsworth: The Abandoned Room. v1. 10 Jul 2022

[GrannyGrump]

WHY was the Abandoned Room kept so tightly closed?

WHAT was the dread secret of the Blackburn Clan?

WHY was Jenkins, the butler, so eager to hide the damning evidence against Bobby Blackburn?

WHY were Carlos Paredes and Dr. Groom so eager to suggest supernatural causes?

WAS Katherine implicated … there was the motive…?

And a thousand other questions crowding deeper into this mystery and detective story …

[— First Edition Publisher Doubleday, Page, & Co.]

“A classic locked room mystery set at an old country estate, this novel keeps you guessing as one after another of the cast of characters is suspected in an impossible murder.”
……………
“This book had everything! An easy to follow writing style, a good sense of atmosphere, hints of the supernatural, a locked room mystery, a dogged police detective, a couple of highly mysterious characters, red herrings, missing time, and a room of death!”
