If English country-village mysteries are your "cup of tea," you'll probably love this book.
(From back cover) The corpse was male. No one claimed him. Nobody wanted him - lease of all, Police Inspector Charmain Daniels. But why did he have her name and telephone number on a card in his pocket?
Several large-scale robberies of furs and jewels and amysterious, garishly made-up woman lurking about town add to the bizarre caseload. Charmain is convinced the crime wave is somehow connected - but how? Then a chance visit to a local beauty salon puts her on the trail of a diabolical gang of criminals - and leaves no doubt that even the prettiest face can mask a heart that is ruthless and just as cold as steel.
"Jennie Melville rises far above most toilers in the romantic suspense genre. She holds readers with an adroit plot, human characters, sustained atmosphere and her sly but savage wit." - Publishers Weekly
