So this PI, Posie, is alone for the New Year, living in her offices as the heat in her building is non-existent, and her friends & boy-friend are all away for the holidays. She receives a call from Scotland Yard asking her help by posing as a rich mystery novelist wife to the Inspector's Barrister at an exclusive New Year's party at a secluded cliff-top Dover Manor. The party will also be the venue for an exchange of top secret war-plane blueprints & M15 business. No one at the party is whom they claim to be or has a clean past and it all comes crashing down with the murder of a nasty tempered film star and the alleged suicide of the host. I found the book interesting to start and was satisfied through the middle as well, but the ending (most of which I had figured out) was convoluted and a bit much over-done. I will try reading another, but at this point I have no hope for continuing the series. (  ) Auntie-Nanuuq | Dec 26, 2017 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

It's New Year 1921 in Britain and Scotland Yard tasks the Lieutenant with monitoring the exchange of sensitive materials with a large amount of cash. He needs a skilled woman who is not on the force to act as the wife of the person he is pretending to be, so he asks the reliable Posie Parker. What could go wrong?
Read this very convoluted and interesting book to find out. You'll be glad you did! (
