Customer Reviews

A great read!

While this book stands on its own a fine, inticrately-plotted mystery story, what really grabbed me was all the time Margaret Millar took in creating all of its characters. It was pure joy to read about each one, and how their individual characters fit into the story, each one rendered with great detail and humorous background. Millar's biting sense of humor is not to be outdone anywhere. I laughed out loud several times while reading this, as Millar could obviously be quite playful with her characters while telling a serious story. A mystery in the hands of an expert storyteller. Recommended!

An exciting blend of mystery and social satyre.

What happened with Ron Galloway? He vanished in his way into his lodge near Wiarton. Is Thelma, his best friend wife, pregnant of him? Or is she pretending to deceive Ralph Turee, another friend of Ron? What started the wrong way in Toronto has to finish the same way at Santa Monica, while Mrs. Millar describes an amazing tour around the Georgian Bay, inviting you to be there.
