Excellent adventure story, like the Hardy Boys but with better writing and a historical Irish setting. Read this out loud to my nine-year-old son. It begins slowly, but the narrative and characters drew us in.
When George Arrow, 36, is diagnosed with a weak heart he decides to leave Dublin and live at a hotel recommended by his doctor, Crane's Court in the Bay of Galway. On the train he meets the obnoxious John Burden who coincidentally is the new owner of the hotel.
George is not the only person at the hotel who objects to Burden so when he is found dead Inspector Kenny has quite a few suspects to eliminate before finding the guilty party.
An enjoyable murder mystery originally written in 1953.

First Published in 1956. Retired Professor Daly is invited to give a series of lecture at his old university in Dublin by the present University president Professor Bradley. His underlying reason in doing so is to get Daly to determine who is sending him threatening letters to kill him.
Soon Bradley has been killed and Daly with his friend policeman Mike Kenny they determine the guilty party.
I found the style of writing not really to my taste and the story felt a little flat.
