Murder in the Rose Garden

Elliott Roosevelt. Avon Books, $4.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-380-70529-0

When a popular Washington hostess is strangled in the White House rose garden in 1936, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt--heroine of a series of novels by her son, Elliott--helps the Secret Service and D.C. police gather information about the crime. ``A light diversion notable, like the earlier works, for evoking real personalities contributing to an eventful year,'' said PW.
