HTML:The widow of a missing British spy is thrust into mortal danger in this suspenseful tale by the author of the Miss Silver Mysteries A year after a body presumed to be that of her missing husband turns up, someone breaks into Meg O'Hara's flat and leaves her a shocking message. Is it a horrible trick? Or is Robin O'Hara still alive? The British intelligence agent vanished the same day Meg asked for a divorce. With the appearance of more cryptic messages, Meg is certain that someoneâ??perhaps her husbandâ??is trying to make contact. But no one believes her. Except Bill Coverdale. Deeply in love with Meg for years, he sets out to get to the bottom of things. His only lead is the mysterious woman with zinnia lipstick he saw getting into a taxi with O'Hara shortly before the disappearance. According to Frank Garrett of the Foreign Office, O'Hara was on the job at the time. And now Coverdale has just narrowly dodged an attempt on his own life. But it's Meg who's plunged into peril when a mysterious packet surfaces. Mired in a morass of blackmail, forgery, and murder, she must battle a chameleonlike enemy who's following in the footsteps of an unstoppable criminal mastermind. Bestselling British crime writer Patricia Wentworth spins a tangled web of romance and deception in this thrilling crime novel. Dead or Alive is the 1st book in the Frank Garrett Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

"Only her old friend Bill Coverdale believed her. He said he'd help get to the bottom of this mystery, not knowing that his and Meg's investigation was indeed spiraling down ... right into the very depths of a shadowy world of secrets and deception, where knowing too much was ... murder!"

Patricia Wentworth is one of my favorite authors. I love the Miss Silver mysteries, and am branching out into her other books, as I'm able to. This one was pretty formulaic: man in love with woman but has to remain just a friend because woman is tied to another, and that can't change until the mystery -- with all the associated danger -- has been solved. It was a page turner nonetheless, even though it wasn't clear to me why the villains spirited Uncle Henry away & kept him locked up incommunicado. ( )
