The Applegreen Cat

A witty whodunit set in WWII England starring "one of the more interesting married teams of detectives . . . A sort of globetrotting Nick and Nora" (Thrilling Detective).

 


While in England, Pat and Jean Abbott are focused on contributing to the war effort in whatever way they can, but they don't mind taking a weekend to join some other American expats at the country home of advertising man Steve Hayward and his wife. But before much fun can be had, a body is found on the premises. Pat isn't so sure that everyone's impulse to blame the death on a passing drifter or a Nazi spy is the answer—and when the spotlight of suspicion falls on a member of a house party he's sure is innocent, he starts getting reluctantly involved in the case . . .
