What is The Cape Cod Mystery about?
First published in the US in 1931 by Bobbs-Merrill: Indianapolis, ''The Cape Cod Mystery'' is the first whodunnit to feature the series detective Asey Mayo, the "Codfish Sherlock". Dale Sanborn has made a lot of enemies in his career as a muckraking author, philanderer and occasional blackmailer. When he vacations at a cabin in Cape Cod, any of his many visitors—an old girl friend, his fiancée, an outraged husband, a long-lost brother and a few more—the night he died could have killed him, and all of them wanted to. When a respectable Boston matron is involved in the crime, local character Asey Mayo takes a hand and brings the case to a successful, if unexpected, conclusion.
