When a tycoon animates the sleepy town of Weesit, he makes a secret enemy who resorts to mass poisoning and murder. Asey Mayo must find a killer hiding in the fog. Pleasant characters; a bit of a confusing plot.
so enjoyable...love time period, quirky characters, humor, and setting.
Brilliant front cover showing man hanging on the hands of a clock plus a map of the village of Weesit on the back.
