The Late Tenant eBook Louis Tracy
A rather complex web made more so by assiduous efforts by the villain to hide the truth. However, it is a bit nerve wracking when the hero is foiled time after time because he is too naive. In a way, the ending is an anti-climax.Product details

The Late Tenant eBook Louis Tracy Reviews
Couldn't put it down until I could find out how the author would unravel the story he kept making more intriguing.
In this romantic mystery David Harcourt, a young hero from Wyoming, tries to unravel the mystery of the suicide of a 'fallen' woman. In trying to find out if she was really an unwed mother or if she was married, he hopes to -not only solve the mystery- but also win the heart of her beautiful sister Violet. But before David can hold her in his arms he first has to deal with a ghost (or is it?), a villain, an actress, a lying servant, a not-so-clever mother who wants her daughter to marry a rich man, and a lot of misunderstandings between him and Violet. This book does not have a lot of big surprises in it, it's quite predictable, but it is a nice read. Recommended for anyone who loves a mystery or romantic story!

reading men's faces, and he had caught a certain fluttering of the
agent's eyelids.
"Nothing to cause any alarm, nothing infectious, I assure you.
People--er--die in flats just the same as--er--in private houses." This,
being a joke, had its chuckle.

"The thing is bound to come to your ears sooner or later, Mr. Harcourt;
so I may as well tell you now," said the Londoner. "The late tenant
was a lady, a singer of much promise, it was said. For an unknown
reason--probably some love affair was disturbing her rest--she--er--took
an overdose of a sleeping-draft. She was a very charming woman, quite
young, of highest character. It is inconceivable that she should have
committed suicide. The affair was an accident, of course, but--er--"

This was a good book and I enjoyed it pretty much except for the old English cockney all through it. I really don't like that stuff!
This book had all the hallmarks of a good mystery that kept me page turning 'til the end! Excellent read
