I wasnt really sure of this book as felt that there was too much name dropping, Ok if you want to know that Lord So and So was dead or thatt Lord Ryde was also thus but to keep on going on about lord what ever is a bit much, I mean who in their right mind calls their friends Lord Ryde usually Just Ryde or His first name,How ever managed to finish after all that and found it rather (g) ripping. . alittle bit of suspense in it.Although done in the 1918–20 era so would be slightly old now I guess…Not sure whether they had lady spys in that ere.
