It's Different Abroad

It's Different Abroad

Harper & Row, 1963

(from inside dust jacket) She was Helen McLeish, spinster, age thirty-four, hair brown, free, in love with the little red car she was driving. She was in love with everything, for she was abroad for the first time in her life, on her way to visit her sister and brother-in-law, who were vacationing in France.

It was while she stopped for customs that two men, Berry and Laurent, slid into traffic behind her. "Are you sure that's her?" Berry asked.

She's the one," said Laurent. And the two men began to follow her.

From that moment on Helen's vacation was filled with unusual activity -- and, to her absolutely bewildered amazement, she needed rescuing fairly constantly from some extremely dangerous and unpleasant situations.

This is a delicious suspense novel, with an extremeley attractive hero, a French garage man, and an extremely attractive and sensible (on the whole) heroine, a Scottish spinster.
