Marshall Allerdyke is driving through the night from London to Hull in response to an urgent telegram from his cousin. As he nears Hull, a beautiful woman stops his car to ask for directions to Scotland. Odd time to be traveling so far and in such a hurry, but Allerdyke's mind is elsewhere. When he finally arrives in Hull, he finds his cousin dead in his hotel room and a valuable consignment of jewels missing. Allerdyke's only clue rests with that woman hurrying off to Scotland.(Summary by MaryAnn) (8 hr 50 min)

(5 stars)

superb mystery. well read and easy to follow. Some said it was complicated. I have to say I found it easy to follow. with regards to some offensive remarks whilst inappropriate by today's standards we are looking at a snapshot of life 100 years ago. I find that interesting and intriguing appropriate or otherwise.


(5 stars)

A good book, well read. I must say I don't know what the other reviewers mean about the introduction of too many people at the end; I thought it was just right. Maybe they have short attention spans.
