Treasure up in smoke Book

Till Death Do Us Part by John Dickson Carr.

This is a Dr. Fell locked room mystery from the golden age of mysteries.

Every thought process of the characters especially Dick Markham is detailed adding to the suspense of the mystery. That may be one of the qualities in J.D.C. writing that sets him apart and above (in my opinion) from the rest of the crowd of mystery writers.

Dick Markham of Ashe Hall has just formally announced his engagement to Lesley Grant much to the chagrin of his former lady friend, Cynthia Drew. They appear to be on top of the world until an encounter by Lesley with a fortune teller at a village carnival. From there the story takes off until Dr. Fell is called in to clear the air and straighten the facts.

This story had me and kept me in it's grip throughout. Remember one important factor...nothing is as it appears.
Excellent addition to all mystery lovers particularly those who appreciate the golden age of mystery books by this famous author.
