Although the Stock Market had crashed recently, it was too early for most people to predict that the Great Depression was about to get underway. For 39-year-old spinster schoolteacher Hildegarde Withers, it’s business as usual. And part of her usual business is taking her class for an outing to the aquarium to see the penguins. Instead, she spots the floating corpse of Wall Street broker Gerald Lester and quickly realizes that Inspector Oscar Piper of NYPD Homicide isn’t up to solving this tricky case.

Enjoyed in spite of the narration

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The story is an enjoyable blast from the past. There's no great mystery to the mystery, but that didn't stunt my enjoyment at all. The narrator however, seemed not only to struggle with the vernacular of the day, but the characterizations tended to be on the annoying side. Also, weird spacing and emphasis.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Not at all suspenseful. But still a fun, vintage tale.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Yes.
