8-29-12 Proof of the Pudding by Phoebe Atwood Taylor - Fiction

3 - I think if I had started this series closer to the beginning I would have enjoyed this a little more.  Asey Mayo is a self made detective in Cape Cod in the 40's and the book is full of the particular dialect of the time and area.  Not a bad mystery but I feel I may be missing some back story that would definitely have made it more fun.  Quirkiness abounds in the story with some distinctly odd characters, as there are in any small town, but a well put together murder mystery overall.
