Author: Gardner, Erle Stanley
Genre: Mystery
Book description from amazon.com:
On his way to finding out, Mason meets Mrs. Milfield, a barely distraught widow, and a slew of suspicious characters all intimately connected to the recently deceased, a man murdered on someone else's yacht. As the surprising scenario unravels, it takes a sharp mind like Mason's, the savvy of his secretary Della Street, and the legwork of investigator Paul Drake to pull all the clues out of the water before the case sinks like a deadweight.
My Read:
One thing I appreciated from finishing this book is a quote from one of the witnesses who was a watchman at the yacht club in which the murder was committed. "Don't you get lonely?" Della Street.
Cameron puffed contentedly on his pipe. "Nope," he said, "I've got books and -well, I don't know. You get lonely in a big house, but in a little cabin like this with everything ship-shape, you don't get lonesome. You get so after a while you can get along with yourself better than with anybody else."
