Mister Mottley Cooks His Goose

*This book is no longer in print.* Mr. Mottley's first case -- a bite-sized Christmas confection featuring youthful shenanigans from our budding detective, with a fluffy topping of seasonal cheer. Edmund Mottley may call himself a Specialist in Discreet Enquiries, but every specialist starts out an amateur. After being sent down from University, young Mottley must spend his Christmas interviewing for a job. A warm holiday welcome turns to suspicion and danger, as Mottley tries to untangle family conflict, secret passions, and a Bolshevik plot. This whimsical short mystery features the jazz-age sleuth, Edmund Mottley, whose further adventures are chronicled in "Mister Mottley and the Key of D" and "Mister Mottley Gets His Man."
