Helpful Score: 2

I enjoyed this mystery. It was lighthearted but not silly. Written in 1939, it contained interesting information about the antiquing business during the Depression. I also enjoyed the conversation and slang that was used, some of it still employed today. The characters were likable, people I would enjoy reading about again. I did have to re-read several sections because I did not follow where the author was leading me and an abundance of characters lead to a little confusion. Overall, I would certainly recommend this to fans of golden-age mysteries.
