stevenk's review against another edition
3.0
Confident no nonsense nurse Sarah Keate is sent as a private nurse to an isolated rambling mansion to care for an unconscious family patriarch recovering from a stroke, the family and others have gathered after hearing of his condition. When a murder occurs, detective Lance O'Leary arrives to work the case with Nurse Keate. Full of atmospheric descriptions of the unusual mansion (no electricity and lots of velvet curtains), and a great cast of suspicious characters (family, friends, servants, and a male cat named Genevieve) brought this slow moving mystery to life as the clues appear and disappear. I was a bit disappointed in the big reveal as many of the other characters seemed to have as much motive for murder as the actual perpetrator but overall enjoyed this mystery.
