Kirja-arvosteluja
Chambrun's hotel is smashed up and murders all over it. His political friend may be the target, or the perpetrator? I thought I knew who the killer was up to the last page, but I don't think the author played fair this time. Seems like he pulled the killer out of nowhere with no clues.
As always, I do enjoy the hotel setting and Chambrun himself.

The Beaumont is overrun by the CIA, FBI, and Chinese diplomats and their security. All trying to prevent the murder of a monster. This was not so much a mystery of solving the crime, as it was how the crime was going to be committed. I liked it, but the political details were hard to read, involving torture, gang rape, etc.
Good story. Greek pirate/financier/philanthropist who is Chambrun's friend, dies in the hotel. This involves the world of high fashion in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Very hip and mod, if not very emancipated.
