This book, published in 1932, is one of the Asey Mayo series of Cape Cod mysteries.
Prudence Whitsby is visiting her friend Rowena near Cape Cod, when they are asked to chaperone a young lady at her Uncle's home. When they get there, it is a house full of men and the young lady. Then the power goes out.
There is a death during the power outage following a severe snow storm, which ends up being a murder. Asey is called to solve the crime, and makes several startling discoveries. There is another death, and Asey feels they are connected.
The book was a wonderful mystery, the characters are very interesting and the solution was unexpected. This is the 3rd or 4th Phoebe Atwood Taylor book I've read, and I've enjoyed all of them, and am looking forward to finding more to read!
This is part of my 2014 Vintage Mystery BINGO Challenge--Golden--O--Method of Murder in Title.
