At the Villa Rose

By A.E.W. Mason

Book Overview

They came to me a little while ago in that cupboard there--Adele and the old woman Jeanne. They made me get up. They told me they were going to take me away. They brought my clothes and dressed me in everything I wore when I came, so that no single trace of me might be left behind. Then they tied me. She tore off her gloves and showed them her lacerated wrists. "I think they meant to kill me--horribly." And she caught her breath and whimpered like a child. Her spirit was broken.

Great crime story

The Inspector Hanaud books were famous during Mason's lifetime and very popular. If you like Agatha Christie style books you should like this too. Personally I prefer his other books such as The Drum and The Broken Road, but that is a personal preference as regards the subject matter. The book itself is just as well-written as the others.
