A Chief Inspector Pointer Mystery The house known as The Nook would have been a perfect place for the newly wedded Layngs to live while awaiting the completion of the house they built. Perfect, that is, except for the body of a young woman found under the kitchen floor while the couple are moving in. The corpse, whose identification is made uncertain by the injuries to the face and the several months the body had lain there before being discovered, appears to be of someone well known to the family, though oddly, Douglas Layng disputes this. All this leaves Chief Inspector Pointer the task of unraveling the usual mysteries of why and when and how the victim was murdered, but possibly also who the victim really was.

About the Author The identity of the author is as much a mystery as the plots of the novels. Two dozen novels were published from 1924 to 1944 as by Archibald Fielding, A. E. Fielding, or Archibald E. Fielding, yet the only clue as to the real author is a comment by the American publishers, H.C. Kinsey Co. that A. E. Fielding was in reality a “middle-aged English woman by the name of Dorothy Feilding whose peacetime address is Sheffield Terrace, Kensington, London, and who enjoys gardening.” Research on the part of John Herrington has uncovered a person by that name living at 2 Sheffield Terrace from 1932-1936. She appears to have moved to Islington in 1937 after which she disappears. To complicate things, some have attributed the authorship to Lady Dorothy Mary Evelyn Moore nee Feilding (1889-1935), however, a grandson of Lady Dorothy denied any family knowledge of such authorship. The archivist at Collins, the British publisher, reports that any records of A. Fielding were presumably lost during WWII. Birthdates have been given variously as 1884, 1889, and 1900. Unless new information comes to light, it would appear that the real authorship must remain a mystery.

This one disappoints: cardboard characters and a plot that dragged (despite many twists and turns, especially in the last third). Others in the series are much better (eg Scarecrow, Charteris Mystery, Wedding-Chest Mystery...). A reader willing to spend $7 for an ebook ought to go instead for one of the masters of early 20th century British mysteries such as Margery Allingham or Nicholas Blake (aka Cecil Day-Lewis).
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Real Puzzler With a Late Twist Most Mysteries Don't Have By Robert C. Rettke I've read all but two of the Chief Inspector Pointer mysteries and this is one of my favorites. The story starts with the finding of the corpse of a young woman under the kitchen floor of a small house (The Nook) about to be occupied by newlyweds. C I Pointer is already at the scene on the first page. As he works the case and makes his discoveries, five people became suspects in turn and I can imagine any one of them being made the murderer at the end of the author had wished. Instead the author cleverly shifts your attention from one to the next and back again. I doubt that most readers will figure out or guess the actual villain. There is a bit of humor at the beginning and a big surprise about the victim late in the book. I disagree with some reviewers about the characters. I thought they were well-enough drawn for the purposes of a mystery story and Resurrected Press must have fixed the editing problem. I found almost no misspellings or other such flaws.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good story, wretched editing By Bracton The Chief Inspector Pointer novels vary quite a bit in quality. Murder at the Nook struck me as being a pretty good puzzler; the characters aren't histrionic, and there are few action sequences that would make you think of a James Bond movie [compare The Charteris Mystery]. Puzzlers tend to be a bit thin on characterization; the interest for me -- and what kept me reading well past my bedtime -- was attempting to figure out who did it.Of course, as many reviewers of the Chief Inspector Pointer series mention, Resurrected Press apparently employs no one to proofread or edit. This book isn't as bad as some of the other titles in the Chief Inspector Pointer series, but the first half of the book has mistakes on nearly every page (the second half of the book is far better, but still has a discouraging number of errors).
