Reviews

[Lesley · Rating 4 out of 5]

A real old fashioned thriller written in 1929 with plenty of twists and turns and none of the sex associated with the books of today. It had a real charm about it with the quaint way of addressing the characters. If you want a gentle read with some surprises along the way this is ideal.
I read the 1949 Nimmo hardback copy.
