Dead or Alive? You'll figure it out,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dead or Alive (Paperback)
Meg O'Hara's husband was reported dead, but it appears that he is leaving clues to let her know he is really alive. Bill Coverdale, "her old friend," is helping her get to the bottom of the case. It turns out Robin O'Hara was a spy before he disappeared, and was onto something big. Since his death is in question, she cannot collect on her meager inheritance, so she should fall back to her rich, reclusive uncle for money; she cannot take any from Coverdale. This is the first Patricia Wentworth book where I figured out the solution by about page 50. If they had called in Miss Silver, she would have solved the case in her sitting room. I think she would have coughed discretely and slapped Meg. "Perhaps you should wake up and smell the coffee!" The only surprise was a character from another of her stories. There is good action, and a lot of twists to the plot. So some people will probably love it.
I am a big fan, having read quite a few Wentworth books, both with Miss Silver and without, but this one disappointed me. |
