Hildegaard Withers there is no other
Hildegaard Withers character in the three murder mysteries are without a doubt, the most delightful characterization of a school marm mentality of her era. She played it to a Tee. These three are my most favorite murder mysteries ever. Though Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and Ngaio Marsh as authors soon would come on the scene, and into movies, Gleason and Whithers showed us a long forgotten era of simplicity, kindness and mesmorizing relationships what we would call, silly old fashion emotions that we have long forgotten as a nation. It was the best and the worst of times and it was a time, we had to talk to each other or go find a phone. Wonderful wonderful black and whites.
