4.0 out of 5 stars
Disjointed but entertaining
All in all I enjoyed the book. I was suprised that so late in the book the crimes happened. The detecting part of the story seemed more disjointed than the set up of the crimes. For a book published originally in 1942, I found the characters and plot rather modern. There are of course some pieces that show the book's age but I don't want to ramble on and risk giving away...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as I expected
I don't want to give away any key plot points, so I'll just say that I felt that Nurse Hilda Adams (aka Miss Pinkerton) did an awfully slow job of analyzing the evidence presented to her. I really expected a much tighter mystery, or at least more compelling writing. This novel read more like something tossed together to meet a deadline or satisfy a nagging publisher...
