<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A mystery, first published in 1972.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>'What if he'd done it in reverse? Supposing the murder had already been committed by the time you saw him?'</em></p><p>The elegant actress Tessa Crichton is starring in a film to be made in Paris. Her husband Robin (otherwise Detective Inspector Price of Scotland Yard) and her cousin Ellen travel with her but the trip is off to a peculiar start when Tessa's jewel case disappears - and mysteriously turns up again; no jewellery missing. She and Robin go racing at Longchamps, attend an evening of Indian folk music, and get invited to lunch by a chance acquaintance. Their social activities seem perfectly innocent and enjoyable - before murder is committed and Tessa finds herself in possession of some very dangerous knowledge.</p><p>Anne Morice's talents for characterisation and humour are well displayed in a classical whodunnit with elements of espionage and kidnapping.</p><p><em>Murder on French Leave</em> was originally published in 1972. This new edition features an introduction and afterword by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.</p><p>'Anne Morice has a gift for creating intelligent, affection-generating characters, set in light and entertaining atmospheres.' <em>Spectator</em></p><p>'Relaxing, polished entertainment of high order.' <em>Daily Telegraph</em></p>
