It was rumoured that Hollywood stars would go to any lengths for the privilege of being photographed by the good looking . brilliantly talented and ultra-fashionable portrait photographer Leslie Searle.
But what was this gifted creature doing in such an English village backwater as Salcott St Mary's And why - and how- did he disappear? If a crime had been committed , was it murder... or fraud.. or simply some macabre p[practical joke?
This mystery features Tey's detective, Alan Grant attempting to solve the disappearance of Searle.
This is very good, with the reader able to solve the riddle as all the information is available but close attention has to be paid. Tey only got to write seven novels prior to her untimely death which was a shame as she gets better and better with each outing.
