Grade A #BookReview: Murder at Somerset House by Andrea Penrose
My Review: There’s a saying that “War is diplomacy by other means”. The converse is often applied as well, that “Diplomacy is war by other means”. It’s also been said that “War is hell”, so either way, references to hell are certainly applicable in both cases. Which leads straight into the motivations behind many of the characters in this mystery, as espionage is more than capable of being even more hellish than either war or diplomacy, particularly in the hands of a desperate despot doing his damndest to get his power back and keep it.
