Descriere
It is Paris, 1936. Harriet and Peter are enjoying a brief respite after the execution of the murderer he brought to justice in "Busman's Honeymoon". They are introduced to a rich English couple, and the lives of the two couples begin to intertwine--ultimately, to take a dangerous turn. In Jill Patton Walsh's masterful development of Sayer's chapters and notes, readers are treated not only to a deeply, satisfying detective puzzle but also a thought-provoking portrait of two very different marriages. Martin's Press.
