A Foreign Affair (or Death at Dawn)

A Foreign Affair by Caro Peacock. What a great read! I think I read this book in 24 hours, not because it's short or easy but because it was just so good. This is another book I bought just because the back cover made it sound interesting. I would call it a gothic mystery. The main character was interesting, the mystery was tricky, and the writing was good. I discovered she has written two more books: Death of a Dancer and A Corpse in Shining Armor. (same heroine)
. . .
One thing I have learned recently (the hard way) is that sometimes when a book is published first in England, it is published under a different name than the book is published under in the U.S. Unfair! I was excited recently to receive a book I had been looking for -- only to discover I had already read it - under a different title!
