I'd give this one a 3.75. A reunion with bumblingly successful doctor Giles Pennyfeather leads Modesty and Willie to many locations and a final showdown with a panther, an evil nanny and her two imprinted young charges, and a short killer that they had tangled with before. They get into the panther situation when trying to rescue someone, leading to a rather home brewed explosive escape.

Another Goody From A Fun Series

This later entry in the Modesty & Willie saga really delivers-- the second half is almost all action, and the plot is never too kooky to spur active disbelief. The early clue will be deciphered by history buffs, but it's satisfying for all that. We also learn more about Modesty's beginnings, and her first murder-- in self-defense, but traumatic for all that. Straight-ahead entertainment at its best.
