Sinossi
Daniel Webster's bust sat for three dusty years in the Lentenment Decorating Shop, looking down upon a group of charmingly eccentric characters, who inhabited the untidy place. They were Emily, the owner, a lively personality with a passion for painting and life. Henry, her assistant, who has eschewed women ever since his former wife threw coffe in his face; his sister Cornelia, a picturesque failure who resented everybody, and her husband James, an ex-Harvard man with a compulsion for brushing his teeth three times a day and a penchant for virtue. These people and Luke Simpson, proprietor of the antique shop downstairs, were all concerned when the well-dressed Mrs. Delaphine, their mutual enemy. became a corpse and Daniel became a temporary arsenal. The lady in quetion was an unpleasant biddy who invited murder and got a quick answer. The first in this comic mystery series featuring Emily and Henry.

Pictorial Wrappers
Prima edizione
Da: MURDER BY THE BOOK, Warwick, RI, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Pictorial Wrappers. Condizione: Fine. Pudim, Rob (illustratore). 1st Prtg. 1st prtg. A fine, unread copy of this trade paperback. Cleo Delaphine was the Lentement Decorating Shop's most disagreeable customer but that didn't mean the staff was exactly glad to see her dead, even if she did have a reputation for being slow-paying. The Lentement's owner, Emily Murdock, was far more interested in talking employee Henry Bryce into marrying her. Henry, on the other hand, had other ideas. His last wife had cried a lot and ended up throwing a cup of hot coffee in his face. He wasn't anxious to go there again. Still, Emily and Henry couldn't help but wonder if the gun they discovered in the bust of Daniel Webster had anything to do with Cleo's murder. After all, the cops hadn't found the murder weapon. Emily figured the gun could have been there for the entire year the bust had sat on the shelf waiting for her to make some repairs, so she reattached it inside the bust and sent Henry to the Belasco Theater on Broadway where it was to be used as a stage prop in a new play--only someone socked Henry and stole the bust before he could make the delivery. It was then that Henry and Emily decided to visit the cops, who at first didn't show much interest in their theories. That was all to change after a second body showed up in the stairwell leading up to the shop. The cops took a long hard look at Emily and Henry, as well as some of their other friends, including Cleo's ex-husband and Henry's sister, Cornelia, a woman with a penchant for attempting suicide. First published in 1949, this lighthearted comedy of manners and errors is the first of four books to feature Emily and Henry. Trade Paperback. Codice articolo 014134
