Thank you Netgalley and the publisher.  This is the first book I have read by this author and really enjoyed it.  It is set in the 1950s and it is a real cosy mystery

Fun re-issue. Great story, great characters. Enjoyable.

Your standard young plucky young women looking for adventure and solving a mystery. What turned me off this book was the blatant racism and antisemitism, pretty awful.

A charming book featuring an intrepid and intriguing female lead. Amazing historical details into the world of Morocco and Northern Africa in the 1950s. A delightful mystery.

Julia Probyn goes looking for her cousin Colin. She takes a freighter to go to Morocco but nobody seems to know where or who he is.

Overall pretty slow and uneventful. Just not for me I suppose

I nice easy read about a plucky young English girl, on her travels and adventures in the 1950's.  Not my cup of tea to be honest and found it hard to believe a 20 year single white girl would find travelling, finding locations, jobs etc. so easy with only limited funds! Although she has a privileged background, this to me doesn't explain the many opportunities she get's.  And I wonder if she would really be able to do all this, unscathed.

Not for me.  Sorry.

I was not thrilled with this book.  Definitely will not buy more of this author's work
