The Lion's Mouse: A Fiction and Literature, Mystery/Detective Classic By Charles Norris Williamson! AAA+++

This is something a little different from the Williamsons. Usually their books are light and frothy confections, but this one has very little lightness about it. It is a fast-paced and somewhat suspenseful tale of a beautiful woman who enlists the help of a stranger on a train, marries him (she, of course, fell in love with him instantly as he did with her) and tries like crazy to keep her "matter of life and death" secret from him with the help of a young friend. It keeps you going right to the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great escapism.
