From Agatha Christie’s favorite American author, the first three mysteries starring gentleman sleuth and antiquarian book dealer Henry Gamadge.Unexpected Night: New Yorker Henry Gamadge is vacationing in coastal Maine when the police there need his help. It’s a strange case involving a seemingly natural death, a large inheritance, a mysterious nighttime rendezvous, and a troupe of summer stock actors who start dying off . . . “Daly offers the reader a challenging case with a believable pair of sleuths, all set in a beautiful and distinctive context.” —Margot Kinberg, author of A Matter of Motive Deadly Nightshade: Gamadge’s friend, Detective Mitchell, invites him up to Maine to investigate after three children are poisoned by deadly nightshade. There is not much to link them together apart from they all live in the same small community. And was the death of a state trooper at about the same time a mere coincidence? “An exciting novel and an excellent mystery.” —San Jose News Murder in Volume 2: Gamadge investigates a bizarre case in one of New York City’s wealthiest homes. One hundred years earlier, a beautiful guest had disappeared from the Vauregard household, along with the second volume in a set of the collected works of Byron. Improbably enough, both guest and book seem to have reappeared, with neither having aged a day . . . “Delightfully original and suavely written.” —New York Time
