Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy mysteries where the detective is a compassionate professional who gets drawn into danger whilst trying to help.
  • You like cosy crime with real stakes. Mrs. Doyle's kidnapping means this isn't just a puzzle to solve over tea.
  • You appreciate old-fashioned storytelling where house calls and small-town secrets matter as much as the plot twist.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want breakneck pacing and cliffhangers every chapter. This is methodical detection, not constant action.
  • You prefer contemporary settings and modern sleuthing. A doctor making traditional house calls might feel slow to you.
  • You're looking for high-stakes international intrigue or supernatural elements. This is grounded procedural mystery.

About this book

Dr. Andrew Fenimore is an old-fashioned doctor who makes house calls to his elderly patients. In his third adventure, a patient's call involves him in detective work alongside medical care. Lydia Ashley owns a large farm in Southern New Jersey and is being systematically harassed by someone seeking her land. Unable to leave his Philadelphia practice, Dr. Fenimore sends his nurse Mrs. Doyle and his young assistant Horatio to stop the attacks. When the threats persist and Mrs. Doyle is kidnapped, Dr. Fenimore joins the investigation. He discovers that hidden treasure is behind the harassment and criminal acts.
