A review by kathleenitpdx
The China Governess by Margery Allingham

2.0

A very British period (set in the 60's) mystery. A lot of this plot revolves around class--old moneyed family vs. governesses vs. the "under class". Although two of the most sympathetic characters are men who have risen above their background. I found a number of the characters difficult to believe. People in the story kept referring to "types" of people who were not recognizable to me. Several of the characters seemed inconsistent--wavering between wise understanding people and total silliness.
