Another really great suspense novel from Mary Stewart. One thing she´s really good at is description--you can almost hear the cicadas chirping (well, it was quite literal in my case--I had my window open and the cicadas were working overtime!). Mary Stewart is also known for her exotic locations, and this one definitely didn´t disappoint. The car chase scene is especially well done; the tension is palpable, even as we find out what really happened all those years ago. Mary Stewart´s books aren´t by any stretch of the imagination, literature as such (even the cover looks a little bit romance-y), but they´re definitely entertaining, and the perfect end-of-summer read.. And summed up by saying Very good. Currently Madam, Will You Talk? has an overall rating of 10 over 10.
