international intrigue submitted by camelsamba on July 31, 2017, 1:01pm As the description above alludes to, this is more of a spy novel than a traditional mystery. It is quite a fascinating tale, with exotic locations. It reminded me a little bit of the Mrs Pollifax series.

Skilled author submitted by kathscot on July 16, 2020, 2:16pm Interesting to read a Christie novel that is not Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot. She deftly moves along the action with our everywoman heroine while keeping some surprises for the ending.
