I know that many of you are only interested in hardcover books; and some of you are only interested in first editions. However, I do meet people who say they will be glad to have a good reading copy.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Going Going Gone by Phoebe Atwood Taylor Going, Going, Gone. There's been another murder on the Cape, and the keen and salty Asey Mayo is on the trail again. An auction that begins as a treasure hunt ends in murder, and an incredible discovery sends our unlikely detective off on a hunt for a killer. Were there secrets between rival art dealers, Miss Pitkin and Mr. Harmsworth? And where does Quin Sharp, the auctioneer, fit in? Here's Asey Mayo in a classic who-dunnit - as mysterious and amusing as his fans have a come to expect. Genre: Mystery. TAYLOR, Phoebe Atwood. Phoebe Atwood Taylor's parents were both natives of Cape Cod; her father was a physician. Taylor graduated from Barnard College in 1930, published her first detective novel in 1931 and published up to three detective novels a year, every year afterwards for almost 20 years. She wrote between midnight and 3:00 a.m., "after housekeeping all day," usually "beginning three weeks before the deadline for the novel to be delivered to her New York publishers." (Her Leonidas Witherall novels include heart-felt depictions of the harried popular author, besieged by telegrams from his publisher, struggling to meet his deadlines.) Taylor married a prominent Boston surgeon of the same surname and lived in Newton Highlands and then in Weston, suburbs of Boston, always keeping a summer home at Wellfleet on Cape Cod. She died of a heart attack. Taylor's first book, The Cape Cod Mystery (1931), features her most famous detective, Asa Alden (Asey) Mayo.

  • Mystery Readers Miscellaneous
    can, whether we know or not. We will also see how we did on the quiz Mystery Readers handed out at the last meeting. Miscellaneous We have a choice for August - Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw. It is rather a strange story and I expect mixed reactions. Remember that just because you don’t like something is no reason not to July 1, 2003 say anything. It is interesting to hear why someone is not happy with a story - as well as why they do like it - as at our June meeting. Well, it has been since May 7 that a newsletter was sent out. I am sorry for the delay. It has been a very busy time for all of us. I hope you are all enjoying the weather and the reading. The Arthur Conan Doyle meeting was a great success. And congratulations are in order for Barbara Thanks to all. I don’t know exactly why or how, but Lane. She has purchased the screen printing people don’t have any trouble talking about Holmes business where she worked and is now self-employed! and Watson. These are immortal stories, though not Wonderful! We gave her a card last meeting as a perfect. And we certainly enjoyed Lewis Irish group. joining us for the discussion. You all were great. It is so much fun to take the stories, as if they were true accounts, and investigate the discrepancies. In July our meeting will be different. Chris Some of the explanations that have been published Wing has graciously allowed us to meet at her house, are quite ingenious.
