Title: Murder comes first
First published: 1951
Description: Murder Comes First, putting an unexpected kink in the vacation plans of Pamela North's three maiden aunts, Thelma, Lucinda, and Pennina Whitsett. Paying a call on their childhood friend, Grace Logan, the sisters find her distraught and preoccupied. When Grace's first sip of tea causes her to fall dead upon the Oriental carpet, Lucinda sniffs the telltale odor of peach pits, and realizes that someone has poisoned dear Grace. Luckily for the aunts, amateur sleuths Mr. and Mrs. North are at the ready, helping the police sift through family squabbles to find the motive and murderer, in their zany, sophisticated way.
