Three French dames, a small English car driven by a handsome American, and a flaky suitor who is after the madame's money spell trouble, suspense, and adventure. Add to the drama Miss Patience (better known as 'Patchy ), the madame's young daughter-who uses her wit, will, and blackmail to sabotage her widowed mother's romance-and you have a fun and exciting read! But we will let you judge for yourself whether Patience had her perfect work.
