Negative Positive
Title: Strong Plot, weak premise
Review: This novel made an interesting addition to the books of Agatha Christie. Using neither Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple, this book ventures off into the spy world after World War I. The book is reasonably fast paced and has an interesting story to it. However, my problem with the book is that supposedly, all the Labour party leaders are secretly Soviet. I must say that detracts from the plausiblity of the story, and therefore also it detracts from the excitement of the book. Other than this major glitch, it has interesting characters, a dubious and diabolical foe, and a surprising twist at the end, good for any mystery. It is also free, which is obviously a major plus.
