The Affair in Death Valley , first published in 1940, features true-to-life descriptions of Death Valley places, buildings, and natural features, and centers on three murders and an attempted murder. Amateur detective Huntoon Rogers, an English professor from California, investigates, and eventually solves the mystery. Clifford Reynolds Knight (1886-1963) authored twenty-four crime novels between 1937 and 1952, often notable for their exotic settings, beginning with the Red Badge prize winning The Affair of the Scarlet Crab. Eighteen of Knight's books feature Huntoon Rogers, each title beginning with The Affair of..." Review: Murder in the Park - Loved this book. I went to Death Valley last week and wanted to read a book that was focused on the area while I was there. We stayed at the Furnace Creek Inn where the story took place. It was really interesting to be reading about real places that I was visiting and staying at! It is a murder mystery and I have to say it was well done. I wasn't sure who the murderer was until towards the end of the book... The book I believe was written in the 1940's so the writing is a bit different but easy to get through. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will look into reading more by this author!
