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.

Accent/ pronunciation

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

A classic Elizabeth Peters story, and unusually funny. I actually belly laughed in a few places.
I can't give the performance 5 stars, because the actor mispronounced so many fairly common words(in one place, she actually said emenies instead of enemies), but not sure if maybe that ought to be laid at the editor or producers door. Someone should have caught it.

Excellent story!

I guess the reader and director are American and unfamiliar with the word "COPSE" (a small group of trees) So without checking, "corpse" was said instead. Good grief.

A "corpse of trees"??? OMG. Reader!!!

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

as always elizabeth peters kills it , and the story is a delight. not my favorite narrator, Barbra Rosenblat would have been better, but still good.

great story

The author had a good story in mind, but it was a bit short. Jumps in time, lack of description to paint a full picture. If she had sat on it and come back to write more of the story, it would have been a great book.

Could’ve been expanded

Not a bad performance, even though there were a few mispronunciations.
And the story is fun.

Lots of fun

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

not bad, but dated
