Jessica Tregarth goes to England to visit her grandfather; an invitation that surprises and pleases her. The only link she has with her dead father's family is an antique ring he brought with him to America. This will be a chance to learn more about who she is; it will be fun.

She's barely off the boat before the chase begins and Jess finds herself playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse through Cornwall, helped by David Randall, the ingenious author of a series of paperback gothic novels. But even Randall's cleverness may not be enough: the couple doesn't know what the pursuers want...and it is not the obvious.

I enjoyed the mischievousness of this story but it became a bit absurd. I appreciated the ending.

Nice, non-gory mystery

You're killing me with mispronounced words. 'Quay' is pronounced 'key'. 'Monmouth' is pronounced 'Monmuth'. There were others but these two stick with me.

This is a pleasant little rom-com-mystery, with a nice tour of the English countryside as the main characters alternately flee from and chase the bad guys.
BUT. The narration is almost painful. Conlin's phrasing is awkward; she often sounds unrehearsed, and her English accent and individual character voices are lamentable. I almost gave up halfway through but wanted to find out what happened.
Do yourself a favor and read the print version of this one at the beach.

A Fun Romp

I probably loved this book when it was written in 1969 and I was 17, but it seems trite now.

not bad, but dated

A little old fashioned but good fun. Read on A Sunday afternoon when you have little else to do.

Elizabeth Peters has such flair when she takes local legends analyzes the bits that are true and with a clear understanding of people creates a fantastic journey!++

I’m a great fan of Elizabeth Peters and an ardent one of Arthurian tales. This was a hard miss for both. Improbable and repetitive plot with characters that had no depth or interest. The facts about historic relics and places that usually fill her novels were scant. At the core, there remains potential for a good novel, but it was missed here. I don’t think the right narrator was chosen.

A Miss for Me

Its the colorful characters that sell it. Such as when Jessica is on a bus, going somewhere in order to get away from her pursuers. The English villagers rally 'round to help her out, even connecting her with a nephew who can drive her back to London (and become the eventual love interest.)

This is very loosely tied to the Vicky Bliss series, as Cousin John is who becomes John "Smythe."

Quirky fun for the genre and for being written in
