Eight Faces at Three: A John J. Malone Mystery by Craig Rice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Holly Inglehart has woken up at 3.00am. But why? And as she is concerned she checks on the other occupants of the house. Only to find all the clocks have stopped at 3.00 am and the only other person in the house is her dead aunt, stabbed three times. Because she has a motive Fleck, Maple Park's Chief of Police arrests her. Who can come to her aid. It is friends Helen Brand, and Jake Dayton, with the help of lawyer John J. Malone that help her. But does the amount of alcohol they drink help or hinder them.
An entertaining historical mystery, a good start to the series.
