Books like Arrow Pointing Nowhere by Elizabeth Daly
When unknown messages reach Henry Gamadge, the renowned gentleman‑sleuth must investigate a potential homicide at the Fenway manor on New York’s Upper East Side. Inside the stately house he encounters a tight-knit family: the half‑wit Alden, the indolent Belle, Miss Grove the attentive nurse, Miss Caroline the eager conversationalist, and the wealthy father and grandfather Mott. As Gamadge pieces together clues, he must uncover who sent the secret notes and who the murderer may be, navigating the intricate dynamics of this intimate household.
Gamadge’s odd foray into the city‑based mystery contrasts with his usual countryside investigations, bringing a fresh perspective to the genre Elizabeth Daly is known for.
