Review: Another great Van Holt story!

Mata Hari, an exotic dancer and accused dutch spy was executed in France during World War I.  Holt's work picks up the story and follows her daughter, Mara Hari, who is seeking the person really responsible for her mother's death.  Fictional and a bit far-fetched, but a great story nonetheless.I've read and genuinely enjoyed several other Van Holt novels.  This one was no exception.  The others have been Westerns, so a spy tale wasn't something I was expecting, based on his other works.  Regardless of the genre, he has a fantastic ability to paint vivid pictures with detailed descriptions and interesting characters.  You'll feel the characters come alive and it's almost like being there.  Great job!
