The Haunted Lady
This Book is Currently in the Wild!
2 journalers for this copy...
Paraphrased from the back of the book: "Wealthy Eliza Fairbanks may have been old and delicate, but she was hardly senile. So when she claimed to have found bats in her bedroom and arsenic on her strawberries, shrewd nurse-detective Hilda Adams was promptly assigned to watch over her. But apparently someone else was watching even more carefully. For soon the old lady's worries were over. And, unfortunately, so was her life..."

I have gotten away from mysteries (I used to devour Agatha Christie's when I was younger) - but this one has such an interesting cover, I must give it a shot.

on page 84 of 272. "the super obvious foreshadowing is bothing me, not sure why though"
on page 203 of 272. ""She had no idea that is was to be the last time she was to see the girl alive." -- yeah, this kind of "foreshadowing", there may be another name for it, but right now I am going with annoying."

On okay story with a likable detective. I would read more by this author, but am not going to seek out these stories.
I do like that this is a 1942 book republished. It is good that some of the older novels aren't getting lost forever.
