Shadows on the water

The dashing Mrs. Cadell has a number of new tricks up her charming sleeve in this novel of an English widow who tangles with a murderer in the very best circles of Lisbon. Kate Verney, one of Mrs Cadell’s most delightful types is first seen on the boat train from London. She is off to visit her daughter and new grandson in Buenos Aires – though she doesn’t quite make it in the pages of this book.
