Originally published in 1948, it's the first in a delightful series of comedic mysteries featuring this most engaging detecting duo. For years people have been telling Jane Hamish that her work as a clerk in a law firm must be so interesting that she should write a book about it. So she decides to write a thriller, with help, of course, from her boyfriend Dagobert Brown, who is fortunately unemployed and so has ample time to investigate when one ofthe firm's clients, old Mrs. Robjohn, dies from gas inhalation in her lonely room. Meanwhile, Jane keeps tabs on her coworkers and eventually becomes convinced that the old lady, who was certain she was being stalked, was actually murdered. Among the clues Jane and Dagobert pore over are a gold cigarette lighter that keeps turning up in odd places and a William the Fourth shilling that was retrieved from Mrs. Robjohn' s gas meter. And when he's not posing as a gas company employee or a door-to-door salesman, Dagobert continues to romance Jane after hours. Book. Seller Inventory # 020771
