Keep Away From Water!: A Golden Age Mystery
Why the warning about water? Or rather why any warning at all?
Miss Venables, a rich and kindly old lady, is the recipient of several threatening letters. Her young companion, Sarah MacNeil, wonders who can possibly bear a grudge against her employer, and energetically endeavours to find out who is threatening her. Together they set out for France, but just on the point of departure they receive a shattering communication which reads: 'Go to France if you like, but once there, keep away from water.' In this clever detective story Mrs. Campbell once more proves herself an expert purveyor of thrills.
Keep Away From Water! was originally published in 1935. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
