Diabolic Candelabra

A Bobby Owen Mystery

Edición de la obra Diabolic Candelabra

Seventeenth of the thirty-five Bobby Owen mysteries. *"Ode to a chocolate," murmured Bobby.* Inspector Bobby Owen's wife is on a mission to obtain the recipe for some uncommonly good chocolates. But the most innocent beginning means trouble for Bobby Owen: take one wood-dwelling hermit, a girl who talks to animals, an evil stepfather, and two exceedingly valuable works of art, and you have the recipe, not for chocolate, but for one of Punshon's most satisfying and devilish mysteries. This beguiling story of labyrinths and seemingly impossible murder is a challenge and a treat for armchair sleuths everywhere. *Diabolic Candelabra* was originally published in 1942.
