A mystery lies back of the very strange behavior of a public man’s wife. In it are involved a young secretary, two witch-like old women, who constantly peer into the operations of the mayor’s household from the vantage point of their near-by window, and a loyal servant. The author weaves a ghost spell over the tale, in which former marriages, theft, and other villainy make hearts miserable.
“It is a mystery story of more than ordinary ingenuity in its inventive resources. It lacks in human interest. There is none of the compelling imaginative genius displayed that makes the characters of a romance appeal to the reader as real flesh and blood men and women.”
