Entrusted in Confidence P Michael Reidy

The three entertainments contained in Entrusted in Confidence relate incidents in the lives of Bill Bradley and the countess (now Mrs Bradley) at points in their lives after the events of The Countess Comes Home. These are more pendant pieces than sequels as they stand on their own, though knowing the characters' full background will augment enjoyment. The Countess' Secret relates most directly to unfinished business before the countess' arrival in London. The Brentano Affair shows Bradley's continuing work for MI7 and the curious activities that agency performs. Bill Bradley Rides Again takes the Bradleys out of their retirement to help discover the whereabouts of their daughter's missing fiancé. As with Reidy's other books, personal, moral and ethical dilemmas are wittily explored, if not resolved.
