Postmaster's Daughter

Postmaster's Daughter

by Louis Tracy

Set in the early 1900s, 'Postmaster's Daughter' centers around a murder mystery that unfolds within a vibrant town. The narrative is as much about the colorful cast of characters - the local police, Scotland Yard detectives, and the town's residents - as it is about the crime itself. The comic antics of the investigators and the townsfolk add a layer of lightheartedness to the story, keeping the reader engaged and entertained. The identity of the murderer remains a mystery until the very end, while the book's lighthearted humor persists even after the truth is revealed.
