Meet Mrs. Meade, who has a knack for being just across the hall when something puzzling happens... A girl has disappeared from her boarding-house, and both her fianc and a city detective are anxious to find her-for very different reasons. A respectable young man is accused of assaulting a woman, but seems puzzlingly unwilling to defend himself. The house fire that killed a guest wasn't an accident...was it set for love or money? It's up to Mrs. Meade, a gentle but shrewd widow lady with a keen interest in human nature, to sift out the truth in these three cozy historical novellas. If you're a fan of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and Anna Katharine Green's Miss Amelia Butterworth, you'll love these quick trips back to the mountain West of the Edwardian era, with a clever lady sleuth to apply her wits to its puzzles.
