AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Set around a lodging house. The murder of a rich and cantankerous woman, owner of a Murray station, and the theft of her jewels inplicate her niece and the husband she secretly married to avoid her aunt's disapproval. Sub-plot of romance between a retired officer staying in the house - the victim's suitor from years before who broke their engagement, and the kindly old maid Miss Pinkerton. A firm landlady; the victim's ghost and the confession of the real jewel thief complete the tale. (PB)
