Deathblow hill

About this book

Asey Mayo Cape Cod Mystery #7 > Asey Mayo is one of our favorite characters -- and we like the Cape Cod backgrounds. A good baffler this, in which Asey Mayo gets a permanent memento of his solution of two murders and the unravelling of an involved family feud. [https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/a/phoebe-atwood-taylor/deathblow-hill/] The forbidding chain link fence topped with barbed wire strands looked out of place on the Cape. But it did its job, separating the two feuding factions of the Howes family. On one side sat the boarding house known as Deathblow Hill, from which Suzanne Howes warily regarded the decidedly odd Simon and Abby Keith across the way. And so it would continue, at least as long as the whereabouts of Bellamy Howes' fortune remained unknown to his descendants. [Amazon]
