Good British mystery and romance.

Not surprised I didn't fully appreciate it; I'm very distracted these days.

Freddy Pilkington-Smith starts out as a seemingly well-meaning, pleasant idiot, much Bertie Wooster. This is because Freddy is drunk when we meet him. His mother takes advantage of his condition in order to avoid having a dead body found on her front steps.
Freddy soon sobers up, however, and turns into a fairly clever, but still very engaging, young man about town and fledgling reporter. He sifts through lots of evasions and downright lies to get at the truth and discover who murdered a member of his mother’s social set.
I enjoyed this, but be warned: it’s absolute fluff and simply an entertaining way to while away a summer afternoon.

This is a story about the French Resistance. Maggie and Cecelia are sisters who are very different from one another - Maggie is in France while Cecelia is in Nice. Maggie sends a Jew named Emil to Nice for her sister to look after and the adventure takes off from there. This story goes between 1941 & 1949-50. The book held my attention though it dragged in places. I figured out what had happened in the middle of the book but the author held a twist towards the last quarter of the book that took me by surprise. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good fighting back story.… (mais)
