Phoebe Atwood Taylor: Proof of the Pudding (1991)

From the Publisher:
"Read one Asey Mayo book and you'll find it hard not to read another... You'll enjoy the settings as much as you will the ensemble of characters who reappear in the stories." -- Cape Cod Compass

Cape Cod didn't look so good to Asey after the hurricane. But things began to look much worse when he stumbled on the body of a young girl in the woods, the daughter of a longtime enemy. And when the murder weapon turned out to be Asey's own lobster pot buoy, he found himself the chief suspect with only hours remaining to solve the crime.

PHOEBE ATWOOD TAYLOR (1909-1976) lived most of her life in Boston and on Cape Cod. In addition to the Asey Mayo series, she wrote the Leonidas Witherall mysteries as "Alice Tilton," and Murder at the New York World's Fair as "Freeman Dana." Diplomatic Corpse, published in 1951, was her last mystery.
