An interesting little book. It really jumped right into things to start, which made it kind of hard to follow, but it straightened out pretty quickly and turned into a fun little murder mystery. A little dated, ok, maybe a lot dated, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. ( )

A message from one old friend and the murder of another send Monica Blaine on a desperate trip to Mexico, where mystery awaits and not everyone is what they seem.

The WWII setting and thrilling suspense make this one of my favorite Eberhart books. I can't help but wonder what it must have been like to write about the war and not yet know what the outcome would be. The heroine is very engaging, and of course a little romance is thrown is as well. ( )
