Also published as The Indigo Necklace Murders
“Appealing background, pleasingly described; some family skeletons;
bitter-sweet romance, and customarily deft Abbott sleuthing.”—The Saturday Review
Lieutenant Pat Abbott and his lovable but
slightly rattle-brained wife, Jean, have become about the most popular couple
in murder fiction today. In The Indigo Necklace, Frances Crane takes them to
New Orleans, where a huge wartime population has overflowed into the famous
French quarter, steeped in tradition and old-world ceremony. When murder is
done amidst these incongruous elements, it takes ingenious sleuthing indeed to
unravel the crime!
Pat Abbott and his Jean are paying guests
of a proud old Creole family, luxuriating in the charm of their surroundings,
when Jean discovers a body at her very doorstep. Before the Lieutenant unmasks
the murderer, the Abbotts meet a fascinating array of aristocrats and
scoundrels, including a police chief, drawn from life, who will become a
permanent member of the Abbott troupe—if Mrs. Crane's publishers and audience
have anything to say.
“The plot of The Indigo
Necklace is good, and the writing is considerably above the average.”—The Montreal Gazette
