Books with author Anne Austin

When an afternoon bridge party attended by some of Hamilton’s leading citizens ends with the hostess being murdered in her boudoir, Special Investigator Dundee of the District Attorney’s office is called in. But one of the attendees is guilty? There are plenty of suspects: the victim’s former lover, her current suitor, the retired judge who is being blackmailed, the victim’s maid who had been horribly disfigured accidentally by the murdered woman, or any of the women who’s husbands had flirted with the victim. Or was she murdered by an outsider whose motive had nothing to do with the town of Hamilton. Find the answer in . . . Murder at Bridge!
