A Safe Place For Whom?
Eileen Dewhurt's more recent novels include 'Death of A Stranger,' 'Closing Stages' (May 2001), 'No Love Lost' (2002) and 'The House That Jack Built' (2004) which I have already reviewed.So, it was with pleasure to find this early novel about an unusual place in Britain.We are almost never the person strangers think we are.Sometimes, not even the person your closest friends think you are.

This nursing home in England is not what it appears.Some of the patients are actors pretending to be dotty old people.Christine is an actress who discovers it's really a safe house for British intelligence and her greatest role so far is at present to look like an old decrepit woman and penetrate the organization of these liars.Her job is to uncover the mole responsible for the murder of two agents.Soon, it's apparent that the man she trusted could be the foreign agent; if that is truthful fact, then her life is at stake.

Who is that woman?She's terrible -- to think they would fill in with amateurs.It's bad business.Whoever I am shows how some actors fell into the parts laid out for them and lose themselves in the process.At a college graduation at which he was the speaker, Greg M. looked up from signing autographs to a pretty young woman and said, "Hello, You."This same welcome was said to me recently by a young local bus driver; but in my case, he just had forgotten my name -- if he ever knew it. 'Julian, I want to turn cartwheels.I must be mad.""Whoever you are.""Whoever I am."Thus ends a mystery thriller.

It was fast-paced and interesting for a British-based thriller.She's come a long way since it was written. ... Read more

A good retelling of a classic favorite
Just by building a house, Jack is the beginning of a story that grows with each page. "This is the house that Jack built. This is the malt that lay in the house that Jack built..."

The rhyming pattern of this book is unique in that sometimes things rhyme, and other times they don't. The words flow nicely though, and the book has a nice rhythm to it, and it reads well out loud.

The illustrations in this book are very good. At times they almost look like collages, but they contain a depth and shading that collages don't have. They also are very expressive, even if they aren't completely realistic.

In short, this is a nice telling of a nursery rhyme with great pictures.
