The Criminal C. O. D.

by Phoebe Atwood Taylor

Overview

A classic Phoebe Atwood Taylor mystery.

Something must have scared the wits out of Jane Lennox to make her run right in front of Asey Mayo in his brand new Porter Sixteen. Could that something have been the sight of a corpse? And could it have been the body of politically ambitious Henry Slocum? The answer would have to wait, for the corpse in the old salt loft had vanished from sight. This one would prove to be a real challenge for the Codfish Sherlock as further sinister and hilarious developments upset the normally tranquil Quashnet Township.

What People are Saying About This

Marilyn Stasio

"Headed for a lazy week at the shore? Pull up a sandune and tuck into one of Phoebe Atwood Taylor's charming Cape Cod mysteries. These who-dunnits recalls simple, more carefree times and spankle with the Yankee wit and salty idiom of Asey Mayo, a local handyman who knew something about policework and everything about everybody's business."
