Forgotten classic mystery from 1945, one of the best I've ever read and I've read hundreds of them. Written by a female, it's strong on the female point of view, female friendships, lots of clothes and jewels and hats, but male readers will be impressed by the inventive plot twists and amazing prose not often found in American mysteries.
