Let's face it. I read A LOT of mysteries and I love the genre. That's not to say I love all of the mysteries that I read. It seems that I am always looking for mysteries which are intelligent and well plotted; you know, the ones that hold your interest to the end. These, I must say, are few and far between. So when I find one that I like, I want to sing its praises, because I don't always read current works, nor do I limit myself to the bestsellers listed in the NYT. I had no clue about this author, but since her work falls under the category of British mysteries, I picked up one or two of her books at the local used-book store. Having just finished one of these, I must say that I've found an author I can really enjoy, if her other books are as good as this one. If you like a good mystery, you'll like this one.

Here's a brief look without a single spoiler:
Rain Morgan is a journalist in London, working mostly with gossip, but she has an opportunity to interview a famous artist in France and takes it. Actually, her boyfriend suggests the trip, but when she goes to meet this elusive person, things start getting weird from the start. The artist is not where she said she was going to be, and Rain is asked to meet her aboard a yacht. It is obvious that everyone there is trying to prevent Rain from meeting with the artist directly, and another meeting for dinner is scheduled the next day. Rain gets there late, and on entering the yacht, hears the artist in an argument with a man. She leaves the yacht, goes and sits at a local cafe; on her way back she sees people staring at something in the water. As she goes to see what's caught their attention, to her horror she notes that it's the artist she'd come to interview. And to make matters worse, the police think she may have had something to do with the artist's death! So not only does she have to clear herself, but other incidents crop up that put Rain in danger.

The author's writing is quite good and I appreciated the intelligence of the mystery. ( )
