The Maine Massacre by Janwillem van de Wetering

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

On the plus side: charming detectives, clever description, good humored and serious writing. As for the mystery proper? The plot turns on an embarrassingly dated bit of faux relevance -- a disaffected "gang" of privileged white radicals -- and a revelation of concealed insanity that would have embarrassed Earl Stanley Gardner on his laziest day.
