THAYER, LEE (MRS H. W. THAYER). Unlatched door. *$1.75 Century
20–9139
“The hero of this mystery tale, after a night with Bacchus, misses his own doorway and steps through the unlatched door of his next neighbor in the brownstone block in which his house is situated. But in a few moments he emerges, thoroughly sobered, for just within the door lay the dead body of a beautiful woman. She has been murdered of course; and the young man instinctively decides that he will be wise to maintain ignorance. The next day, however, he is drawn in, when the servants next door summon him. Unfortunately, he has accidentally left evidence of his visit, and when the police take charge he becomes one of the suspects. A considerable group is involved, and, characteristically in stories of the type, each one suspects the other. When guilt is fixed, the one least suspected proves to be the murderer.”—Springf’d Republican
“A fairly well written mystery murder story with an ingenious plot better worked out than the average.”
