I really like Clara Benson's writing as she includes details and clever conversation between her characters, often humorous, that I don't find in other mysteries.  Mrs. Angela Marchmont is a modern woman especially for the 1920s and one wonders if she was ever married as she presents herself.  Freddie, a reporter of sorts, is a delightful young man always up to something surprising and occasionally embarrassing.  This story involves possible spying and a murder that stems from the theft of secret papers.  The plot keeps the reader guessing to the end which of course is unexpected.  Also like the historical background of the 1920s.
