Book description1931, #1 Asey Mayo, with Miss Prudence Whitsby, Cape Codnasty author gets his head bashed in - well, he *did* seem to enjoy making enemies, so theres lots of suspects, including several of Miss Prudences visitors - and friends; classic small-town cosy mystery, three-and-one-half stars.When author Dale Sanborn rents the little cottage back of Miss Prudence Whitsbys comparatively palatial (for 1931) one, most folks just thought it might make things interesting... over the summer - he had a habit of stirring things up where-ever he went, and this summer is no exception. Found a day after his arrival lying on the floor of his summer home, wrapped in a blanket and with his head bashed in, numerous suspects make their appearance and weave back and forth through the story, as Taylor slowly builds up a tale of cruelty and kindness, new beginnings and old memories. When Bill Porter, a family friend and all-round nice guy (but with a bad temper) is picked by the less-than-astute sheriff as the killer, Asey Mayo steps in to work his way through the many clues and false trails, to the bitter end. Asey Mayo was, IMO, one of the all-time best detectives. He, and his style of sleuthing, used to be extremely popular but the all-knowing, always-a-step-ahead-of-everybody-else sort of sleuth, has fallen out of favor now. And although the character is one of my most favorite, the hayseed-ish tendencies Taylor was pretty much required to add to his persona to sooth public opinion now pretty much dont work, becoming downright annoying at times to this long-time (and long-lived) Bostonian. However, Taylor slowly, over the series, switches the emphasis from stereotype into beautifully formulated satire - with Asey as the instigator of it, not the puppet or the object. It quickly becomes clear even in this first novel that he is an enormously subtle - and intelligent - man, who uses his stupid local appearance as camouflage, and it works really well, too. Um, except for the local accent dialogue stuff, but thats a Pet Peeve of mine and isnt really badly done here, its just something I hate anywhere I find it, but especially in my own neck of the woods.Very talky and rather slow-moving by modern standards - the death of Dale Sanborn is the only murder in this novel - there is a lot of running around The Cape via motorcar to seek out clues and information, a couple of fistfights, several tell-all sorts of Gather The Suspects settings, until the final one, with a nice, if very sad, ending twist. Several fun, and also some extremely astute characterizations brighten things up, the plotting is solid if a mite over-worked, and, really, he *was* the sort of person you love to hate.... And the setting is superbly wrought.This was a lovely trip down memory lane for me (its my Nth reread...) and still a decent beach read for anybody. The very good beginning to what becomes one of my all-time favorite cosy mystery series. Very smooth for a first book, well plotted, albeit overly complicated, but that was a very popular style in 1931. Take any of her books with you to the beach - theyre funny, entertaining, actually still somewhat mysterious, and the later books are very fast moving as well, with her books from the late 1930s becoming broadly farcical, like the bizarre, wildly popular movies of the period (i.e. Bringing Up Baby). And her books from the early 1940s are superb.Taylor is a pretty much forgotten author now, but her stories make excellent summer reads for anyone whod like a quiet afternoon by themselves, whether youre on Old Cape Cod or not, at the beach or at home. Taylor sets the scene so well Ive taken to rereading these in the dead of winter! Always transports me away, to a slower-moving time and place, where most folks had manners, cars had rumble seats, and lovers generally knew when to just say no - and meant it!BOTTOM LINE: Not sexy, not bloody, not nasty (despite the murderees reputation), this version of 1930s Cape Cod is a lovely place to be, with a wonderful puzzle to solve, amongst Very Nice People.
