Excellent mystery, enjoyable and complex plot
7 Aug 2011
Format:Hardcover
I had this book on my shelves for at least two years, and finally started it last night. It really was one of those mysteries that you can't put down until you've finished it, and then you don't want it to end. In 1910, Nell Bray is an amateur detective and a strong suffragist who goes off mountain climbing so she won't give in to her impluse to throw a brick at young Winston Churchill, who she holds responsible for killing the suffrage bill in Parliment.
When she is about to run out of money and have to return home, she is hired by an English family who has heard of her skills as a detective and a translator. They have come to take home to England the body of Arthur, who fell to his death 30 years ago during a mountain climbing expedition. His body has just been discovered in the melting glacier. His brother (who had been on the original climb)and his two children plus a nephew make up the somewhat grieving family. But -- did he die as assumed or was he killed, and if so, by whom?
