A review by barefootsong
Clue of the Silken Ladder by Mildred A. Wirt

2.0

Not my favorite Penny Parker -- this one has a recycled plot element from the first book of the series, the housekeeper Mrs. Weems is more-than-usually dumb, and even Penny is rather dumb, at least when it comes to dealing with Mrs. Weems -- but there were still enough funny moments in between to make it worthwhile.

Beware the 1940s racism, this time against the Japanese, including a rather awful drawing for the frontispiece.
