One and a half stars, maybe? I may get crankier later and round it down. It wasn't good.

Interesting as a product of its time and as one of the early American mysteries. Lots of melodrama, lots of improbable and implausible shenanigans leading to the solution, but fun if you are a fan of the genre. Notable for having a female protagonist/amateur detective, also, although I would have to say that I preferred the Golden Slipper stories with Violet Strange to this, all else being equal.
