The Midnight Visitor
Book 12 of the Judy Bolton Mysteries series
249 pages · First published 1939
An unexpected visitor arriving around midnight gives Judy Bolton immediate reason to suspect that an ordinary call conceals a larger problem. Questions about the stranger’s identity and purpose draw Judy and her friends into a mystery where nighttime movement and incomplete explanations increase the danger. As usual, Judy’s curiosity is inseparable from concern for people who may need help. Margaret Sutton’s Judy Bolton adventure combines nocturnal suspense, family and community ties, and a heroine whose willingness to investigate begins the moment someone appears where they should not be.
