a delightfully cheerful bizarrely extravagant political thriller with murder thrown in, all bundled up in a swath of ruritanian style Romance, with the added bonus that the hero gets the girl this time.
i love agatha christie. she hearkens to another age of cleaner language and perforce a wider vocabulary. her plots are intricate but the good guy always wins. and of course nobody does dry wit as drily as the brits.
this must be my favorite of her non-poirot non-marple books.
