Books with title The Room With The Tassels

Excerpt from The Room With the TasselsThe air of finality in the gaze levelled at Braye defied contradiction, so he merely smiled at the girl who was doing the talking. But, talking or silent, Eve Carnforth was well worth smiling at. Her red hair was of that thin, silky, flat-lying sort, that spells temper, but looks lovely, and her white, delicate skim - perhaps the least bit hand-painted, showed temperament while her eyes, of the colour called beryl, - whatever that is, - showed all sorts of things.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The air of finality in the gaze levelled at Braye defied contradiction, so he merely smiled at the girl who was doing the talking. But, talking or silent, Eve Carnforth was well worth smiling at. Her red hair was of that thin, silky, flat-lying sort, that spells temper, but looks lovely, and her white, delicate skin,—perhaps the least bit hand-painted,—showed temperament while her eyes, of the colour called beryl,—whatever that is,—showed all sorts of things. Then from her canna-hued lips fell more wisdom. “And Professor Hardwick believes it, too, and he’s——” “A college professor,” broke in Landon, “don’t try to gild his refinement! But really, Eve, you mustn’t believe in spooks,—it isn’t done——” “Oh, but it is! You’ve no idea how many people,—scientific and talented people,—are leaning toward spiritualism just now. Why, Sir Oliver Lodge says that after the war great and powerful assistance will be given by spirit helpers in matters of reconstruction and great problems of science.”

It had seemed an idyllic way for a group of wealthy New Yorkers to spend a summer month, researching the supernatural in a reputed haunted mansion in the depths of Vermont's Green Mountains. That is until two of their number are mysteriously struck down at afternoon tea. Could the supernatural be at the heart of these deaths? Or did humans do the deed. This is the riddle that the famed detective Pennington Wise must unravel as they tries to discover what happened in... The Room with the Tassels. "The Room with the Tassels" marks the debut of occult detective Pennington "Penny" Wise and his female sidekick Zizi. Carolyn Wells created this younger crime fighting duo after the success of her Fleming Stone books. As her twelfth mystery novel, "The Room with the Tassels" marks a maturity of writing from the author of "The Clue".

This started as a rather silly group of people talking about whether paranormal activity is real or a fake. They decide to travel to a "haunted house" as a rather strange way to spend their summer vacation ... The house is not what they expected (just what they thought a haunted house would be like, I don't know) ... And of course, things get very eerie and strange almost right away. Worse yet, there are two murders. Its a classic locked-room mystery with lively characters and a smart detective.
