WOODS, Sara Dearest Enemy
MacMillan London Limited, Great Britain, 1981, ISBN:0333318471
WOODS, Sara. Dearest Enemy. (Great Britain:) MacMillan (London Limited, 1981). pp [6] 7-191 [1]. 8vo, red cloth. First UK edition. From dust jacket: 'Their whole reputation is based on forty-three years of happy marriage.' Meg Hamilton was talking to Antony Maitland about Leonard and Virginia Buckley, who were contracted to play two major parts in a new stage thriller in which Meg would play the lead. Now the elderly Darby has convinced has convinced himself that his Joan is planning to poison him. Meg is asking Maitland to do something about it, in spite of his protests. 'My dear girl, I can't go up to Mrs. Buckley and ask her if she's poisoning her husband.' But Maitland's careful probings do reveal that all is far from well in the supposedly blissful marriage that has so strongly caught the public fancy. This however, though worrying, is nothing to what will happen on the first night.The play being a thriller, there comes a time when the lights go out and a murder is done. Before they can come on again a leading member of the cast has actually been killed on stage. Antony was in the auditorium. So, for r easons of their own, were his enemy Detective Chief Superintendent Briggs and his friend Detective Chief Inspector Sykes., who took over the investigation. An immediate arrest was made. But Maitland was not convinced that they had arrested the right person and his subsequent investigation gave him increased confidence in his role of counsel defending the accused. Maitland is in court again. Jenny, Sir Nicholas Harding and vera re in the background, and Superintendent Briggs is giving evidence for the defence! The special strength of this novel derives from the extraordinary intricacy of its plot, a plot to tease the brain of every whodunnit addict. Vg., dj vg. 22
