A Kill at Jaguar House A David and Trait Mystery

Typewriters, landline phones, morning and evening newspapers, and smoking indoors. Smells like post-war America to me.

Fledgling detectives John Trait and David DeGrabber work to untangle the mysterious death of a wealthy feline enthusiast.

The family is glad the old lady's gone and not afraid to let anyone know it. Who killed her, and why? Did anyone, or is it just a lone young relation making a stink?

It's enough for the David and Trait Agency to get after, to try to keep the lights on in their Chicago office.

Meet the namesake of Jaguar House, maybe get in a fight, find out whodunit and what went down in, A Kill at Jaguar House.

About the series: The David and Trait Series are completely episodic, so you can start on whichever one you like. No cheesy big bads from one to the next, or heavy secondary arcs to worry about. John Trait, who tells the stories, and his partner David DeGrabber, are just a couple of able bodied men trying to make it on their own terms after the Allied victory. These are good clean mysteries, in the classic style. No profanity, no graphic descriptions of violence, and no hard drinking depressed detectives here. John helped to liberate France, and we don't know where Dave spent his time, but we may one day find out, in the David and Trait Mysteries.
