LUEHRMANN, ADELE. Triple mystery. *$1.75 Dodd
20–7518
“Here Adele Luehrmann has evolved a situation where three men of prominence of the same nationality and presumably of similar interests, all die with sudden and unexplained mystery within a few days of each other. The first effort seems to be to throw suspicion upon Olive Thrace, who has reason to be anxious to be rid of Zarady, the great concert master. The second death brings in the element of the girl with the squirrel cap. The actual solution of the triple mystery is a surprise.”—Boston Transcript

“The author has not succeeded at any point in really intriguing the reader. The characters are obviously puppets to string the story on: sheep fattened for slaughter. The dénouement is lacking in ingenuity.”
