Ingrid Langley and Patrick Gillard Mystery #2
Death of a Raven
At a luxurious vacation house on the Canadian coast, a curious house party has gathered.
Its object is not sociability but security.
The safety of the party is of utmost importance as the attendees are English engineers whose mission it is to design the missile controls for Canada’s revitalized navy.
But a mysterious death has already taken place. Could it be suspicious? Who would commit a murder at a party?
The amiable MI5 agents, Patrick and Ingrid, who are also husband and wife, are ordered to join the engineers.
A gripping game of high-stakes charades is played and all guests take part, whether willing or not.
But when an “accidental” car crash is followed by an “accidental” poisoning, Patrick and Ingrid know a traitor is present.
Who has crashed the festivities? Will the couple figure out the mystery before the death count rises uncontrollably?
‘Death of a Raven’ is a fast-paced international thriller which will keep you guessing until the very end.
'Kept me guessing to the last page.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of 'Trade Off'.

Here I go reading thru this "spy" (rather than detective) series. I do like the characters-though a little cold war dated as far as plot.

loved and didn't
I love the chemistry between Ingrid and Patrick, but this stiry was so convoluted and difficult to follow that I almost gave up. 5 stars to the series as a whole.
