Improbably enough, both guest and book seem to have reappeared, neither having aged a day. The elderly Mr. Vauregard is inclined to believe the young woman's story of having vacationed on an astral plane. But his dubious niece calls in Henry Gamadge, gentleman sleuth, expert in rare books, and sufficiently well bred--it is hoped--to avoid distressing the Vauregard sensibilities. As we soon discover, delicate sensibilities abound chez Vauregard, where the household includes an aging actress with ties to a spiritualist sect and a shy beauty with a shady (if crippled) fiancé. As always in this delightful series, Gamadge comes up trumps, but only after careful study of the other players' cards. \u003ci\u003eMurders in Volume 2\u003c\/i\u003e, though the third Henry Gamadge novel, was considered by Elizabeth Daly to be the book with which the series truly began.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Classic Mayhem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631943430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Elizabeth Daly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051666305205,"sku":"9781631943430","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_208b5264-27c3-4012-a6ef-f32a719decce.jpg?v=1764047599","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/murders-in-volume-2-9781631943430","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
