5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner by Elsie Lee, June 9, 2003

This review is from: The Spy at the Villa Miranda (Paperback)

If you have read my other reviews, you know by now that I'm a real Elsie Lee fan. I love her strong women characters and I love a good mystery as well. In this particular book the main character is divorced by her artist husband at the beginning and she hits on a sure-fire way to avoid him and her immediate social circle by suggesting to her company that they pay her a stipend to travel Europe doing research while the gossip dies down. She ends up staying at the Villa Miranda and who shows up but her ex-husband (the artist) who is painting the wife of one of the owners. A wonderful who-dunnit involving smuggling and murder with another one of Ms. Lee's strong women protagonists.

This review is from: The Spy at the Villa Miranda (Paperback)

From the back cover: Looking for a way to forget the trauma of her recent divorce, Siri Quain accepted a job as a traveling companion to a sophisticated older woman. The thought of losing herself in the beautiful sun-drenched ruins of ancient Greece seemed to be the perfect cure for the horrible memories of her shattered marriage. . . But then an act of violence fell across Siri's path, and her carefree vacation turned into a fearful nightmare. And to add to the terror there seemed to be no one who she could trust -- no one except her ex-husband!
