The Widening Stain by W. Bolingbroke Johnson
4.0
A delightful mystery. Set about in the 1940's (first published), occurring at the University library.
Several professors, Prof Parry, full of limericks, Prof Casti specializing in phonetics, the Chief Library cataloguer and my favorite, Miss Gilda Gorham.
Two murders, one rare manuscript, a silly Lieutenant, and snappy, inquisitive, bold Miss Gorham, all make for a comedic, but intriguing pager turner. Everyone in this book had something to hide!!
Miss Gorham's energy throughout this book is so savvy. Her calm and witty approach in getting to the bottom of these two murders and willingness to be strangled.....
The janitor Cameron, also has his share of information as well.
Did Miss Gorham crack the case? How did she put it all together? Did she pick up an admirer too?
Who took the rare manuscript and why?
If you want to find out, and enjoy the ride this read takes you on, then grab the 'Widening Stain'.
