In the Onyx Lobby

In the ornate, haughty Campanile Apartment House, a bitter family feud between two obstinate matriarchs has simmered for twenty long years. But social snubs and withering glares soon become the least of the tenants' worries. When the wealthy and jovial Sir Herbert Binney is discovered dying in the building's magnificent onyx lobby at two in the morning, the police are baffled. The only clue is a bloody, scrawled note dropped from the victim's stiffening fingers, containing a shocking and cryptic final message: "Women did this." With an entire cast of suspicious characters—from an ambitious young inventor desperate for funding, to a pair of star-crossed lovers, and a bevy of Broadway chorus girls—Detective Corson has his hands full. Add in a snooping night porter addicted to murder mysteries, and the puzzle becomes a delightful labyrinth of alibis and hidden motives. In the Onyx Lobby by Monica Downey is a masterful puzzle-box mystery brimming with Golden Age charm, sharp wit, and unexpected twists.
