Death Lights a Candle

An Asey Mayo Cape Cod Mystery

Phoebe Atwood Taylor

There's been no shortage of trouble on Cape Cod that March. A house party of men and women has been snowed in—and cut off from the world outside. The host is murdered. Poisoning, the doctor says; probably arsenic. But almost everyone is found to have arsenic among his or her possessions. Asey Mayo fans, and newcomers, will have much to discover in Death Lights a Candle, with its special New England flavor and Cape Cod characters.

“What a treat to have the humor of Asey Mayo available again in the delicious detective fiction of Phoebe Atwood Taylor.” —Otto Penzler, owner, The Mysterious Bookshop, New York City

As Marilyn Stasio, columnist for the New York Times writes, “Taylor's droll period whodunits are a special treat, thanks to the Codfish Sherlock, Asey Mayo, a salty Cape codger who entertains summer visitors by solving picturesque crimes.”
