Books published by publisher J B LIPPINCOTT CO

Elderly Mrs. Lampier was moving back to the "haunted house" on Echo Ridge, and people still wondered what had happened to the money that had disappeared when Mr. Lampier died. The money belonged to investors, and among the suspects was Jon's father who felt that he must move out of town. Jon and his friend David determined to clear up the mystery so that Jon wouldn't have to move. And they did. The plot is hackneyed and the characters are flat; the minimal value of the book is in the fact that every aspect of the mystery has a logical explanation: this has a somewhat deflating effect on the reader, but it escapes melodrama."
