Summary: A damsel in distress.
Review: Published in 1961, the year of the author's death, this novel is a variant of the old-fashioned "damsel in distress" formula. Anne is the damsel in distress. She has lost her memory, and can only answer "I don't know" to the questions put to her. She believes she has witnessed a murder, and is being lured to her own death by the murderer. The threat recedes and the memory returns towards the end of the book and, of course, Miss Maud Silver is on hand throughout to dispense sympathy, suggestions, and solutions. If you like an old-fashioned romantic novel, its pages scented with mystery and peopled mainly by females of all ages, then this will provide some pleasant hours of reading.
