The Idyllic Beauty of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, its aura of luxury and leisure, suddenly are shattered by the cry of a frightened woman. She is Miss Leeson, otherwise known as Miss Milton, and her presence in Las Palmas in itself is something of a mystery.With Miss Leeson's death, ensuing investigations, suspicions, accusations and confessions follow thick and fast. But it takes more than thievery and mayhem to put a crimp in a Cadell romance- especially when the young lady is not only intelligent but beautiful and the young man is very tall, handsomely dark and fiery.The villain is charming and in his way, heroic. The victim is to be mourned but everything and everybody else in this book is to be admired and enjoyed.

It's been years since I read Elizabeth Cadell.I really enjoyed this old-fashioned English story about Caroline, her sister Iris, and her brother Roger and their romantic travails. Widowed Caroline is so placid she usually shows almost no sign of life, but she's beautiful and being courted by Simon. Aspiring news reporter Iris is much more vivid than her sister, but having trouble bringing her dedicated schoolmaster up to scratch. And their self-absorbed brother Robert has brought a new younger woman to visit. The eleven and twelve year-old school boys add a wonderful touch. Other supporting characters may be stereotypes, but with their own little touches of whimsy. Published in 1949 and set in post World War II England, we are caught up in a world where women are discouraged from working outside the home,men have the right to be--well, men,and mother knows best. Even so, it is a delightful story and has many flashes of humor.

Kerry, a calm and attractive young Englishwoman, is sent by her volatile boss to France to deliver a book to none other than the mother who had abandoned her years ago. Although a grande amoureuse in her day, she's now just a sick old lady about to lose her home and she had appealed for help to four of her previous lovers. And what do you do if you're Pierre Leclair, too tall, too thin, with a large Adam's apple, stumbling feet and eyes that look sad even when you're happy? What do you do if you're madly in love with a brisk, efficient ever-so-accomplished English beauty? What do you do? You pursue her!

Romance and suspense ensue in Paris as a woman is pursued by several men who want a fortune her murdered husband had stolen. Whom can she trust?
