This 21st of 21 mysteries by the sisters finds the Littles up to their usual tricks. Bill Runson’s happy and prosperous life turns a bit bleaker when his late father’s second wife, an alluring woman with negligible scruples, arrives on his doorstep with her daughter and a cousin in tow, all three of whom are looking forward to leading the high life at Bill’s expense. Then Bill’s black curl was cropped in his sleep and a body was found preserved in ice in the refrigerator. First published in 1953.
