Mason: The House that Hate Built

“It’s a second wife who starts the family feud when she has her husband thrust the home he builds her in between the relics of the family’s former grandeur. She is killed and he and others are attacked. Todd Innes, a former insurance investigator, on furlough from the army, helps Capt. Garner corral the killer.” (St. Louis Globe-Democrat, 1944)

Review

“This story of feud and murder in a small Southern town may not be everyone’s dish, but we liked it immensely. Bitter hatred . . . provides the motive force for events that reach furious intensity as the story progresses. Southern locale is realistic and authentic.” (Star Tribune, 1944)
