As with many of MacDonald's books, this one is complicated and moves back and forth in time to a degree that careful reading is necessary. At the same time, the pace steadily increases, the tension rises, the scenes are always interesting and the characters are real people. The clues are carefully set out and carefully explained as the novel concludes An excellent, satisfying novel, well worth searching out.
