A girl goes out one night and is found the next day drowned near a sluice. Another girl is discovered asphyxiated in a garden house nearby. Both could have been tragic accidents,but both girls worked as secretaries for the same family.
Typical of writing in the 1950's, this is a well-constructed thriller that is marred by just too much detail. It goes over the same ground again and again until the reader is fed up with it all. A pity because it starts off very well indeed and contains some excellent red-herrings. ( )
