by Mary Stewart ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 14, 1958
A cachet in the polite, mystery-suspense market, this author now takes over a straight romance-cum-suspicion tale in which orphaned Miss Martin, as nursery governess to orphaned little Comte Philippe, deceives his crippled uncle about her familiarity with the French language to achieve her dream of living in France. At the Chateau Valmy she encounters possible attempts on Philippe's life, learns to distrust not only the boy's uncle but his rebellious cousin, Raoul, and, in deepening her love for the Provence estate, tries to protect the youngster while trying to believe in Raoul...Smooth and silken.
