Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-26 00:00:00 Gerald Rhodes I liked it - a bit different from the movie of the book, Murder on a Honeymoon (). Miss Withers is on vacation in Catalina. For Cubs fans there is a little bit about how the Cubs used to go to Catalina for spring training and played at Wrigley Field there. Wrigley apparently bought up most of the island at one point. Shortly after the Dragonfly, a seaplane ferrying folks from the mainland to the island (there is also a boat) lands at Catalina a man keels over. Not really sure how Miss Withers got involved since, in the book, she is already on the island. But she gets involved. And, before you know it, she has wired Oscar Piper, her cop in New York, to come and join her. It turns out the dead man may be a wanted man in New York. Anyway it was fun.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-07-15 00:00:00 David Hester First story where Hildegarde Withers solves a case alone, without the help of her friend inspector Piper. The conclusion, although not exactly unexpected, was not clear for me, so I enjoyed this novel. I don't like to discover the identity of the murderer before or at the same time as the sleuth.
