Review by: MandyApgar
Another lesser known Christie. It focuses on the bright,
pretty Hillary Craven - a young woman whose husband abandons her and
their sick (soon deceased) child and decides to commit suicide. Caught
on the verge of committing the act by a man in
government service, he enlists Hillary's help in a "more sporting"
death. Bearing a resemblance to the wife of a scientist who created a
revolutionary fission method and then vanished, she is recruited to pose
as the woman and then infiltrate the cold war era
scene in order to get to the truth. Hillary does, but not before she
gets caught up in things more than she expected, and even solves a
murder that nobody knew existed in the process.
