Summary: Gret fun
Review: While it doesn't remain exactly true to the mystery writing rules (there are people introduced too far into the novel), it has all the elements of a rollicking good romance with a charming romantic rogue, secret panels, English country houses, and sinister Sikhs. It is a fun read, and I will read more by this author.

Summary: At last someone gets it!
Review: Wow! Who is Diana Killian and where has she been?I just loved this book. I haven't read such a purely fun novel in what seems like ages. It's witty, romantic and action-packed, as frothy and refreshing as ice cold champagne, a sort of screwball update of TO CATCH A THIEF (I could almost picture Cary Grant playing the male lead). The heroine, Grace, a sassy (but classy) vacationing American schoolteacher on vacation in England, may be a thoroughly modern gal, but this is simply a good old-fashioned mystery. Words like "romp" and "skullduggerry" come to mind... It's the kind of mystery they say nobody wants to read anymore, but "they" are wrong. I, for one, want to read them, and I hope Ms. Killian writes plenty more. I'll certainly be waiting for her next one. Angst is out, and fun is back! Janet in Bangor
