The Tattooed Potato by Ellen Raskin

Title: The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues Author: Ellen Raskin
ISBN 13: 978-0606153492
Originally published in 1975

Newbery Award-winning author Ellen Raskin is a masterful storyteller and The Tattooed Potato is an excellent example of intrigue and obfuscation and detection!  Just who is Garson?  Is he really the two-bit portrait painter of New York's upper crust?  Or is he the elusive painter Sonnenberg? Or worse, Sonnenberg's murderer?  And what's with his alter-ego Inspector Noserag?  Is Noserag real?  Is Garson real?  Who is really responsible for the deaths that span decades in this dark and mysterious novel?  If you liked The Westing Game or any other novel with quirky characters and a clever plot, you must read The Tattooed Potato!
