Not this one; too slow and irritating. Try another.

Wow. I think I read this in the mid-eighties when it was new and it's every bit as good as I remembered. Also love The Yellow Room Conspiracy.
If you like really Smart Sophisticated British storytelling, do not miss.

My feelings on this book went up and down on this one. In the first section, I did enjoy the look into the upper-class mind of Lady Margaret. However, as soon as Mr. B came into the picture, the warning bells rang for me and I couldn't be on her side anymore. Then when the mystery came into the story, my interest perked up. Yet, the second section is a bore. It was like a crawl to the so-called payoff. It needed a scene with Jane at the end.

I think I like DIckinson better when he's writing for kids. Or writing fantasy. I enjoyed this book, but I was never really struck by it or really drawn in.

it was a bit dated-but still well plotted
