Christie's husband and wife detective duo, Tommy and Tuppence is once again in action, but they are now in their sixties and not so spry as they used to be. Tommy Aunt Ada's has passed on at at nursing home and there is a mystery about one of the residents, Mrs. Lancaster, who is suddenly taken away. It all centers around a landscape painting that reminds Tuppence of something she has seen and she believes that Mrs. Lancaster may be in danger. Tommy is off at a conference and Tuppence decides to find the place she remembers and try to find Mrs. Lancaster at the same time. Tuppence finds an old mystery and family secrets that people are trying to keep as secrets. Its a wonderful confection of tension, action and confusing clues, what Agatha Christie is best at. This book will keep you on your toes to the very last page. It was wonderful!
