Title: Bad boys meet bad girl
Review: 25 years after the seventh Earl of Lucan clobbered his wife and killed the nanny, he shows up in Paris at the office of psychiatrist Dr. Hildegard Wolf. But she already has a patient who claims to be Lord Lucan. Will the real one please prove it? And what about Hildegard, who really is Beate Pappenheim, a fugitive fake stigmatic from Bavaria? The author has great fun twisting things around between these three bad people, at times coming close to the Keystone Cops. But blood will tell, with murder, with stigmata and with the British nobility. This book does not make much sense, but it is good fluffy fun.Amusing sideline: Bavaria had a well-known stigmatic - Therese von Konnersreuth - who "practised" there from 1925 until her death in the 1960s. She was never accused of fraud but, to this day, Rome is rather sceptical.
