Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The complicated puzzler Play Dead 's beautifully realized cast features English divorcee Poppy Tasker, drawn into international intrigue while baby-sitting her grandchild; also in March, Mysterious will re-release Dickinson's King & Joker , a mystery set in Buckingham Palace.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Kirkus Reviews
Fifty-ish Poppy Trasker, unhappily divorced and marking time by minding her grandson Toby for her politically-minded daughter-in-law Janet, is asked to identify a dead man found in Toby's play center. To Poppy's alarm, it's the man who had been watching her house and following her and Toby. What connection can the unknown corpse (a child molester?) have to the death of one of the play-group nannies-- or to Poppy's unlikely liaison with John Capstone, husband of Janet's Thatcheresque opponent...or to an international drug-smuggling plot, a cozily aristocratic family, or the impending fall of the Romanian government? In the hands of anybody less than veteran Dickinson, the preposterous reach of this intricate plot would boggle the mind; here, the links between the homely details of Toby's tantrums and the fate of the Ceausescus seem beautifully inevitable. Dickinson's touch is so masterly here that he makes other fine domestic mysteries seem quite amateurish. -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP.
