This book in the end was very disappointing in that everything was telegraphed too clearly and too far ahead of time. In the end, there really was no mystery to the reader, because you figured out very quickly that the missing girl had been murdered and by whom, and then the ending had a rather conventional as-if-made-for-a-movie scene where our heroine seems to be in mortal danger but of course gets rescued and in the end all is well.

The most interesting aspect is the vaudeville stuff and the brief onstage appearance of some of those performers who went on to huge fame.
