Arrow Pointing Nowhere by Elizabeth Daly

Take one grand house, stuff it with staff, and make it home to several generations. If they send their sons to Oxford and occasionally knock each other off, you've got a country-house murder mystery, the delight of classic English crime fiction. But if the boys are at Yale, odds are that you're reading its American counterpart, the New York mansion mystery'a genre largely invented by Elizabeth Daly. In Arrow Pointing Nowhere Daly is back on the Upper East Side, where Gamadge has been receiving missives suggesting that all is not right at the elegant Fenway mansion.
Daly, Elizabeth: - Elizabeth Daly (1878-1967) published her first mystery novel at the age of sixty-two, then went on to write fifteen more mysteries in a charming series set in 1940s New York, in a style reminiscent of the British Golden Age: They feature a gentleman sleuth who is a rare books expert and handwriting specialist and who solves crimes in his free time. Among her fans was Agatha Christie, who was noted to have declared Daly her favorite American author. As well as satisfying classic mysteries, Daly's novels serve as astute depictions of New York society at the time, a world on the point of vanishing. She received an Edgar award in 1960 for her body of work.
