decent mystery for some light reading. Misses on the eerie factor which is so often a plus with Carr's mysteries. Rather easy solving,except for some tricky side bits. ( )

Donald Holden comes back to London a year after World War 2 ended, having been officially declared "dead" while actually being in mI% in pursuit of a high-ranking Nazi in Italy. The sister of the woman he loved before he left is murdered. ( )

I'm surprised that I had never heard of this author before. This particular novel was definitely as good, if not better, than any Agatha Christie I've ever read. Solid plotting, good characters and I really didn't know "whodunit" until the very end even though all the clues were there. Very good read. ( )
