I started reading this as a sprint hosted by noteworthy fiction-Nicole on Saturday and I could not put it down until I had finished it. For me this was a page turner and I loved every minute I spent reading it. Published in 1949 this mystery novel has been made into some visual works and if they followed the plot no doubt was enjoyed by many.
We start out with a foundling who is raised in an orphanage and has no family background... he leaves it, travels to different countries and seems to be searching for where he fits in the scheme of things. He meets someone who entices our protagonist to pretend he is someone who disappeared when he was twelve, a twin in fact and inserts himself into the family of the lost boy believed death.
The plot thickens and is brilliantly paced to keep the reader interested in every scene from beginning to end. I could not help myself in theorizing where the author was taking me in this mystery.
Very enjoyable and a worthy read.
