The Lady of Ascot

She could not yet be called a woman, but she was no longer a child under any circumstances. Curiosity spreads in the small village of Ascot when a wealthy Countess settles there.

• Even the private investigator John Morlay is enraptured by the young and beautiful Marie Fioli.
• When he is surprisingly hired by former nanny Maries Beschutzer, he sees a chance to get closer to the Countess.
• But his mission serves a completely different purpose...
• As the novel is rather short and quite fast-paced with a lot of scenery-changes and adventures, this nice.
• The Lady of Ascot is one of the most successful book of the 30s, the golden age of mysteries.
• Recommended for Edgar Wallace fans and fans of old-time, classic crime thrillers.
