Murder a la Richelieu (American Queens of Crime)

There's sinister goings on at the Richelieu. Can Miss Adams, commonly known as "The Old Battle-Axe", solve the mystery before it turns deadly?

In a small Southern town in a quaint old hotel Adelaide Adams is knitting, unprepared for the reign of terror and bloodshed that is about to begin. If she had been prepared she would – in spite of her bulk and an arthritic knee – have taken to her heels then and there.

"A deliciously old-fashioned whodunnit"
"Miss Adams is a force to be reckoned with"

Murder à la Richelieu is Miss Adams’ first mystery. Her next thrilling escapade, There is No Return, is also available.
