What begins quite conventionally as a country house weekend marred by murder slowly develops into a headlong thriller of international espionage. In spite of the fragment quoted above, the young lady shows quite a bit of spunk and initiative before the crime is solved and the villains brought to justice. I picked this at random with no expectations, and the first few chapters don't give much indication of the pace and dynamics of what follows, but I stuck with it and found it quite entertaining.
