shades of the secret adversary and jane austen's mr collins in a delicious romp through post-war still-gentrified england. lord Caterham tries to dissuade an ardently misguided suitor: i really shouldn't if i were you. just go home and think it over like a good fellow. count twenty. all that sort of thing. always a pity to propose and make a fool of yourself.
this is dame agatha at her irreverent best, effectively and effortlessly spoofing the thriller. jolly good fun, even if the plot is strangely familiar.
