Stars: 5
Review by: Mandy Apgar
When the
archeologist / paleontologist father of Anne Beddingfield dies she is
left with not only sorting out his debts but also the realization that
she has no idea how to make her living. Not too many
jobs are open for young women who can tell apart paleolithic implements.
Anne runs afoul of a man the press entitle The Man in the Brown Suit, a
shady character connected with several deaths in the area. Having a
knack for writing thanks to handling her father's
papers, and coming into a small amount of money, Anne spends the lot on a
cruise ticket - the reason being that she believes the Man is also on
it and intends to find him, all the while sending in newspaper articles
to an eager area editor. Her tenaciousness
gets her into trouble while in Africa but fortunately she has her
brains, an unlikely friend in the guise of an over eager society dame,
and the aforementioned Man to rely on (who, as it turns out, is not the
bad guy after all and is merely following a much
bigger personage himself).
