A very satisfying Golden Age mystery featuring a pair of sleuths who are not actually detectives, but find themselves investigating a death in their rooming house in order to protect themselves, and, in one of their cases, rectify an old grievance.
The writing flows well and the main characters act intelligently and are likeable. The mystery is well thought-out and plausible. Most of the action takes place in the Washington Square mansion, but there is still a feeling for what New York was like right after the war.
Recommended for Golden Age mystery buffs.

This is my first book by this author and I found the mystery interesting as well as actually relaxing, despite the fact people seemed to be continually killed off or hit over the head.
What I didn't like about it is that the other three books in this series are not currently available on PBS. What is especially irritating is that the second book has three other members ahead of me on the WL
