A sequel to "The House of a Thousand Candle" featuring Larry Donovan, who becomes entangled in the ugly family feud of a beautiful young woman, her father and her maiden aunt. It doesn't have quite the mystery or adventure of the earlier book but excellent characterization makes it a fun read.
Neat little mystery with Mr. Donovan from The House of a Thousand Candles. I noticed a similar plot line through the first 3 books but he writing style keeps you curious and wanting to read on.
