Seller's Description:
Near Fine. No spine crease. 0.53 x 6.83 x 4.18 Inches. 192 pages. With a broken marriage and a nervous breakdown barely behind her, Melissa sails for Europe. When a strange traveler urgently asks her to deliver a book to a secret address, Melissa agrees--much against her better judgment. Soon Melissa realizes she's being followed. Her life is suddenly in danger. And as she finds herself forced to fight alone against an enemy she cannot understand, Melissa discovers something extraordinary about herself, something she never suspected...
As a fan of Dorothy Gilman, I enjoyed this book immensely. Primarily, because Gilman uses the plot to delve deeply into the psychology of the major character, Melissa, who has been an emotional cripple most of her life. Through the adventures foisted upon her, she finds a value for herself, and learns to embrace the risks of living fully..
As a single passenger on a ship bound for Europe, her tablemate clandestinely asks her to deliver a message in Majorca, the last stop on her itinerary. At first she does not take it seriously, but later learns that he has been murdered. She is followed on her travels, and becomes frightened, not knowing whom to trust. The plot takes her through Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris, and finally Majorca, for the denoument, interspersing meetings with other travelers some of whom appear to bode ill for Melissa. Along the way, her personality and character undergoes a metamorphosis.
This is a psychological novel, which is precisely why I liked it. The plot twists and turns serve the characterization, rather than the reverse. Different from the Mrs. Polifax novels, and in my opinion, better.
