Murder in the Maze: A Grandfather Rastin Mystery

In the first place Grandfather Rastin never should have bought that house in Wiston. It happened several years ago when he was only about seventy-eight but even so he was old enough to know better. He admits that himself. In the second place he should have asked his tenants for references. He did buy the house and he didnt ask for references and thats where the trouble started... Lloyd Biggle Jr. (1923-2002) is most famous as a science-fiction writer who used genuine science while emphasizing human and cultural elements especially art and music (he held a Ph.D. in Musicology.) His detective stories about Grandfather Bill Rastin in the fictitious Borg County Michigan show this emphasis on the human element in a nostalgic Norman Rockwell-esque world.
