Anne Morice. Murder on French Leave (1972)
Anne Morice. Murder on French Leave (1972) Actress goes to Paris, gets mixed up in murder prompted by espionage. Her husband is a Scotland yard cop, her cousin is a 16 year-old kid, etc. Silly plot, badly worked out, supposedly witty according to the jacket blurbs, unbelievably long sentences, and a generally cosy we-know-what-we’re-talking-about tone. Morice wrote several other books, but this one is enough for me. (2003)
