The Hand in the Glove (Mystery Masters)

Wealthy industrialist P. L. Storrs has never approved of lady detectives, and he normally would not have made an exception of Theodolina Dol Bonner. But faced with a very delicate problem and surprisingly impressed, he hires her instantly. It seems that Storrs bird-witted wife has fallen under the spell of a smooth talking religious charlatan, and now Storrs wants Dol to get the goods on him. But when the gorgeous gumshoe arrives at Storrs picturesque country estate, Birchhaven, to meet the scoundrel, she finds more than she bargained fornamely, the corpse of her client and a garden party teeming with suspects! This witty whodunit, brought dramatically to life by noted reader Judith West, was first published in 1937.
