Description: A Golden Age mystery featuring a sleuthing small-town doctor who's out of his depth as a killer haunts a waning New England summer.
Brief description: Jonathan Stagge was one of the pen names under which Hugh Callingham Wheeler (1912-1987), Richard Wilson Webb (1901-1966), Martha Mott Kelley (1906-2005), and Mary Louise White Aswell (1902-1984) wrote detective fiction. Most of the stories were written together by Webb and Wheeler, or by Wheeler alone. Their best-known creation is amateur sleuth Peter Duluth. In 1963, the story collection The Ordeal of Mrs. Snow was given a Special Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America.
Review Quotes: "Stagge has packed some excellent reading between the opening and closing chapters."-- "Chicago Sun"
