Although this is best-described as a mystery, I think it's got more than a little bit of the spirit of adventure to it - a plucky (if abrasive) young Englishwoman abroad in a politically turbulent Europe finds herself caught up in a strange and complex affair... a mystery it may be, but there's a little bit of the spirit of The 39 Steps and The Prisoner of Zenda in here too...

My mistake, it's from a novel by Ethel Lina White ❤

[@RobertLongden-d1f]

Isn't this by Daphne Du Maurier , later a movie by Hitchcock?

[@RobertLongden-d1f]

I think in my mind I thought Hitchcock.... who did The Birds, Rebecca, etc by Daphne Du Maurier, and I assumed she wrote the train thriller.A lady vanished. My interest in this stems from the wonderful old radio plays on U tube _ I love listening to things.

I totally see what you mean, because Hitchcock tended to adapt writers with a particular psychology that suited him - so Du Maurier's stories are often very 'Hitchcockian' (though in turn, Hitchcock's movies are very Du Maurier-ish) but also the writer Patricia Highsmith wrote stories that really suited him. There's an excellent radio adaptation of her 'Strangers on a Train' (filmed by Hitchcock of course) on my other channel, which I can recommend. The cast is fantastic, led by Bill Nighy and Anton Lesser...
