Quote: "'You've served your purpose, Walter,' his partner said."
Breaking into the glassblower's shop to steal the money the glassblower owes him, Walter Whittle is murdered by "his unlikely partner in crime." Only Whittle knows who that partner is, and the rest of this book tells how the glassblower found out.
Henry the glassblower is helped by a nice woman, Rebecca, and not helped by an eager but apparently stupid one, Susan, through a series of wacky amateur-detective adventures that make Nancy Drew and Encyclopedia Brown look sophisticated. As murder mysteries go, this is a cozy one: only one murder is committed, though several are threatened.
This short novel reads more like a farce than like a classic detective story. If you like comedy in a mystery, you'll like A Shard of Evidence.
