thenovelbook's review against another edition
3.0
Pretty cute comedic fluff. Reminded me vaguely of Jeeves and Wooster. Burton Crane (awful name for a nice guy!) has just rented a house, and he insists on staff being provided. A cook, butler, housemaid, and boy of all work are engaged, but they are not what they seem. The mystery is easily solvable, but that doesn't make it any less fun.
"Just run up and give this note to the people you'll find in the garret, there's a good fellow," said Crane.
Lefferts sat up, rubbing his eyes. "The people I'll find in the garret," he murmured. "But how about the little black men in the chimney, and the ghosts who live in the wall? This is the strangest house, Crane, the very strangest house I ever knew."
