Morison, B. J. Beer and Skittles: a Little Maine Murder
Thorndike, ME Thorndike Press 1985 0896210944 / 9780896210943 Hardcover Good in Good dust jacket
256 pages, cloth, DJ, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. Cover design by Armen Kojoyian, cover photograph by Tim Loeb, book design by Abby Trudeau, and map by Kelly Russell Gordon. From the dust jacket: "In the tradition of Dorothy L. Sayers, Beer & Skittles combines a masterful clues-fairly-given mystery with comedy and social satire in a work that is both compelling and great fun". From Publishers Weekly: "Elizabeth Lamb Worthington, the precocious but proper 11-year-old sleuth in Champagne and a Gardener and Port and a Star Border, prevails again in this enchanting new adventure. It is summer in Northeast Harbor, Maine, as the "old money" families of Boston and Philadelphia spend their holiday in leisurely tea-and-gossip. Among them flit Elizabeth Lamb and her cousin, Persis, amusedly taking note of the genteel backbiting, the bombastic verses of irascible General Alison, the weird behavior of the houseman, Ludwig Vonn, as well as vague hints of blackmail and drug smuggling. When they find the body of an unidentified young man washed up on the beach, the two young women turn their talents to solving what they are sure was not an accidental death. Soon, more corpses turn up, and the amateur sleuths find that the case holds more intrigue and danger than they're up for. Eccentric but scintillating conversation and a full, lively portrait of families intertwined in an ongoing battle of wits, qualities reminiscent of Jane Austen make this mystery highly entertaining. " M69; Ex-Library; 256 pages
