Specificatii
'Murder in a Walled Town' by Katherine Woods . . . is Miss Woods'
first novel, although she has previously written a travel book
describing the beautiful French chateau country, with which she is
thoroughly familiar. The scene of this mystery novel is an old
French town, no doubt a real one under a fictitious name, which is
completely off the beaten track of American tourists. In this town
are a small group of Americans who have gone there because living
is comparatively cheap, and the resources of each of the group has
been depreciated on account of the departure of the United States
from the gold standard, and the consequent fall in the value of the
dollar. The old inn at Neyrolles offers comfortable living quarters
at moderate prices. There is Wayne Armitage, a young teacher whose
vacation threatens to be curtailed by the fall of the dollar.
Coming to the inn at Neyrolles he meets Mrs. Wilde, who poses as a
poor invalid, but who is neither very poor nor seriously ill; her
charming daughter, Christine, who is a slave to her mother's
caprices; and Margaret Hamilton, a spinster, whose slender
resources have been much impaired by the reduced purchasing value
of the dollar. Five other Americans appear later in the story and
are added to the personae of the drama that swiftly develops into
tragedy. There are two murders in the book but before they occur we
are given ample time to become acquainted with the characters and
the delightful background of the story. It is an intelligent story,
with a baffling mystery and a satisfactory solution. (1934
