Présentation de l'éditeur
A dead stockbroker in a penguin tank leads
Miss Withers
to a shocking mystery
For the third graders at Jefferson School, a field trip is always a treat. But one day at the New York Aquarium, they get much more excitement than they bargained for. A pickpocket sprints past, stolen purse in hand, and is making his way to the exit when their teacher, the prim Hildegarde Withers, knocks him down with her umbrella. By the time the police and the security guards finish arguing about what to do with Chicago Lew, he has escaped, and Miss Withers has found something far more interesting: a murdered stockbroker floating in the penguin tank.
With the help of Detective Oscar Piper, this no-nonsense spinster embarks on her first of many adventures. The mystery is baffling, the killer dangerous, but for a woman who can control a gaggle of noisy third graders, murder isn't frightening at all.
The Penguin Pool Murder is part of the Hildegarde Withers Mysteries series, which also includes Murder on the Blackboard and Murder on Wheels.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Pictorial Wrappers. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. 1st Prtg. 1st prtg. A fine, unread copy of this trade paperback. A class trip to a Manhattan aquarium leads Miss Withers to her first case. Although the stock market had crashed recently, it was too early for most people to predict that the Great Depression was about to get under way. For 39-year-old spinster schoolteacher Hildegarde Withers, it's business as usual. And part of her usual business is taking her class for an outing to the aquarium to see the penguins. Instead, she spots the floating corpse of Wall Street broker Gerald Lester and quickly realizes that Inspector Oscar Piper ofNYPD Homicide isn't up to solving this tricky case, especially when he appears ready to accept the confession of an obviously innocent young man. Red herrings as well as penguins abound. Miss Withers has a number of questions that need answers before she can reel in the real murderer: Who did Lester's wife meet behind the stairs? What did the pickpocket see? Who was man in the fedora? And just how did Miss Wither's hatpin turn into a lethal weapon? First published in 1931, The Penguin Pool Murder was as big a hit with readers as it was with moviegoers when it was filmed the following year starring Edna May Oliver as Miss Withers and James Gleason as Inspector Piper.
