A review by swathi_narasimhan
The Puzzle of the Happy Hooligan by Stuart Palmer, Otto Penzler

4.0

This book is funny. The characters feel real, but certain things were unbelievable. Its fiction so its fine.

In my imagination, Hildergarde Withers is a cross between Miss Marple and Mrs Jeffries. She loves to collect gossip and take the first step in solving a mystery.

The murderer part was a surprise and how he/she did it seemed unreal. But still a very good read for fans of golden age of detective fiction.
