A well plotted who-done-it - By: , 13 Oct 1997
In 1923 just outside London, Phillip Petrie, the son of an English Lord, stops his car on the side of the road to see what is causing a terrible knocking sound. Gloria Arbuckle, the daughter of an American industrial giant, stops to offer her assistance. The pair begins to see each other & Phillip quickly fallls in love with Gloria. Phillip courts Gloria & her poppa as he plans to win them both over & marry her.

One day, while Phillip & Gloria were driving together, the car breaks down. Phillip tries to fix it, but they are set upon by some thugs. He is tied up & she is abducted. The kidnappers instruct poppa to raise a ransom without involving the police if he wants his beloved daughter back alive. Phillip turns to his childhood chum, Daisy Dalyrmple, to save the life of his beloved.

DAMSEL IN DISTRESS is a fun to read, who-done-it that ironicallly laughs at itself as well as high society. Daisy & the support cast (both the recurring & new characters) are alll wonderful in a zany way, making this a series worth reading.
