Henry must help Rena Austen, newly wed, who has decided her marriage was a big mistake, and has fled her husband's gloomy Upper East Side house in fear for her life.\u003cbr\u003eYoung Rena Austen, newly wed, is afraid she's made a terrible mistake. Her husband, once a dashingly romantic figure of a wounded war hero, has turned into a moody lay-about, and they are sharing a gloomy house on the Upper East Side of New York with his unpleasant, always-there family. When her husband reacts in a frighteningly angry way to Rena pulling a particular volume off the library shelf, she has had enough, and flees her home in fear for her life. Thankfully, Henry Gamadge is on hand to solve the mystery of the book and the dead body that inevitably turns up. This 1951 novel is, sadly, Gamadge's last appearance, but on the bright side he is as charming here as he was on his first outing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55419824996726,"sku":"9781631940934","price":13.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27240581.jpg?v=1742874447","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781631940934-the-book-of-the-crime","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
