4.0 out of 5 stars
neat, quirky little thriller,
By Jim Shine (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Key of the Tower (Hardcover)
While driving through Brittany, France, Guy Lantern finds his way blocked by a lightning-struck tree; on the other side is a French art expert in a hurry. They swap cars - Lantern's Mini for the Frenchman's Rolls - and what follows is a sort of homage to Hitchcock movies such as North by Northwest, in which Lantern is drawn into a complex plot, complete with femme fatale and a Proust-quoting baddie. The tale zips along, often amusing, always entertaining, to a very clever finale. Adair is a great observer of people and things, and his eye for detail adds to the at-times almost surreal atmosphere.
