The White Priory Murders is by Carter Dickson. A Golden Age classic; the second in the Sir Henry Merrivale series. James Bennet is over from America and has been invited to spend Christmas with Marcia Tait, a Hollywood star working on a play in England, and several of her business partners and "friends." James arrives to find Marcia murdered in a out building with one set of prints leading in and none leading out. When his cantankerous uncle, Sir Henry Merrivale arrives to solve the mystery, even the police are baffled and eager for the help of the amateur sleuth. Fans of classic mysteries will enjoy this tale.
Ratings: 9th grade - 8 out of 10.
