Krátky popis
Hildegarde Withers is just your average school teacher--with
above-average skills in the art of deduction. The New Yorker often
finds herself investigating crimes led only by her own meddlesome
curiosity, though her friends on the NYPD don't mind when she
solves their cases for them. After plans for a grand tour of Europe
are interrupted by Germany's invasion of Poland, Miss Withers heads
to sunny Los Angeles instead, where her vacation finds her working
as a technical advisor on the set of a film adaptation of the
Lizzie Borden story. The producer has plans for an epic retelling
of the historical killer's patricidal spree--plans which are
derailed when a screenwriter turns up dead. While the local
authorities quickly deem his death accidental, Withers suspects
otherwise and calls up a detective back home for advice. The two
soon team up to catch a wily killer.At once a pleasantly complex
locked room mystery and a hilarious look at the foibles of
Hollywood, The Puzzle of the Happy Hooligan finds Palmer, a
screenwriter himself, at his most perceptive. Reprinted for the
first time in over thirty years, this riotously funny novel shows
why Hildegarde Withers was among the most beloved detectives of the
Golden Age American mystery novel.
