Tim Topps is narrator and the hero of this
post WWII / start of the Cold War tongue-in-cheek yarn of an adventure. Unable
to avoid National Service, Tim is assigned to sort out the failing readership
of a minor Army newspaper as a cover for discovering a ring of sleepers and their
leader. The tension mounts as Tim travels the Shropshire and Herefordshire
countryside slowly uncovering the truth, aided by his beautiful assistant, some
intriguing helpers, more than a few suspects and several red herrings.
Some of the links to clues are tenuous and
contrived, as with many thrillers, but that can be forgiven for this is a
lovely, whimsical and enjoyable read. The characters are endearing, highly believable,
and the whole novel most entertaining.
