This is a classic British mystery that kept my engaged and intrigued. While it is 11th in a series, I have never read any of the others and I didn't feel I missed a thing by starting with this one. It's definitely a stand-alone mystery. A British novelist, Adrian Messenger, shows up with a list of seemingly unrelated people and wants his friend, who is in law enforcement, to check them out. Just find out if they are still alive or not. That's all he wants to know. When Messenger is subsequently killed in a questionable airplane accident, the search begins to find out if the list is related to his death and how the people on it are related to each other. The answer will take them into the upper echelons of British aristocracy. While easy to read, the book does assume the readers are smart and clever. I like a book that assumes I'm intelligent. It's a smart, classic mystery writing at it's best! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The romance between a couple of characters was a little awkward, both how one of them acted like a silly teenager, and the fact that much is made of how big, how gigantic she is. "Cable address Valhalla?" someone says. As a women of height I had mixed feelings. At the point when she's literally swept off her feet by her lover, she realizes with joy that for the first time she feels little. I should be offended, but in fact that spoke to my heart too. I'd love to feel little! ( )
