The Clue by Carolyn Wells

3.0

Another entertaining Golden Age mystery. An heiress is stabbed on the night before her wedding. Who killed her - the cousin who loved her but had been rejected; her fiancé, who was in love with another woman; her secretary, who loved the fiancé; the eccentric spinster who stood to inherit her property? (I have to say, though - that I couldn't understand why three women found the fiancé, who seemed like a bit of a stick, frankly so irresistible.) Really more of a 2.5, but I'll be generous and round up. The women in these books are usually pretty vapid, but I did like Kitty, even though she started out looking that way, although unfortunately she did seem to disappear about 4/5 of the way through the book.
