The House of the Whispering Pines

When a woman is found dead at The Whispering Pines, not only is everyone shocked, but murder is suspected. After all, why would such a well liked young lady put an end to things, or why would anyone want to do away with her?

• Her vagabond of a brother is suspected, since he has every cause to wish her out of the picture.
• Her fiancée Elwood Ranelagh also is suspected since he no longer wished to marry her but her sister.
• So perplexing is the case that the local authorities call in an ace detective from the New York City police force.

• Published in 1910, this is a good old-fashioned mystery from the Golden Era of the country house genre.
