Praise for The Chuckling Fingers

“Satin-smooth mystery novel in a family fracas which starts with acts of malignant mischief and leads to murder. Young Ann Gay finds her cousin and closest friend, Jacqui, framed in guilt for diabolical doings and double murder. Ann turns detective and solves the crimes. Ingenuous manner for some ingenious matter — expert timing and mechanics and pleasant romantic asides. Velvet.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review (September, 1941)
