Miss Stubbs Dear Laura, a Book-of-the-
Month Club Alternate Selection, intro-
duced Inspector John Lintott, who was
welcomed as the most interesting nine-
teenth-century character of his kind since
Sherlock Holmes.
Now Miss Stubbs brings Inspector
Lintott back for a wholly new adventure,
which takes him across the Channel to
Paris, where they do not speak his lan-
guage, in any sense. Lintott is on the trail
of a child who allegedly died in a train
wreck twenty years earlier. She is the
sister of Nicholas Carradine, now a fa-
mous artist, who is obsessed by the pos-
sibility that his sister may not be dead.
Lintott, a homebody at heart, has a
difficult time with France s three sacred
altars: food, money, and l amour. Witty,
intelligent Madam Picard is the mistress
not only of an important government
minister but of his son as well! More-
over, living with her is Valentine, who is
pregnant by her mistress s protector! This
is all too much for homebody Lintott,
who pursues a trail of adultery and incest
to discover the one secret that can lead to
Nicholas Carradine s happiness.
Jean Stubbs own secret is a writing
style that has won her numerous
admirers throughout the United States.
Her novel about the life of Eleonora Duse
was picked by The New York Times as one
of the best books of the year.
