description: There's been no shortage of trouble on Cape Cod that March. A house party of men and women has been snowed inand cut off from the world outside. The host is murdered. Poisoning, the doctor says; probably arsenic. But almost everyone is found to have arsenic among his or her possessions. Asey Mayo fans, and newcomers, will have much to discover in Death Lights a Candle , with its special New England flavor and Cape Cod characters. As Marilyn Stasio, columnist for the New York Times writes, "Taylor's droll period whodunits are a special treat, thanks to the Codfish Sherlock, Asey Mayo, a salty Cape codger who entertains summer visitors by solving picturesque crimes."
