    I've read this book, and I consider it to be one of the better ones that don't feature one of AC's "known" detectives. The leading character has a spirit of fun and a lively imagination. Just what you'd want in the leading lady! There are lots of twists and turns, and you're never bored. In fact, it starts out light-hearted, and then turns dramatic and manages to continue at the same pace - not an easy feat. I'll say this without, I think giving away any spoilers. Clarissa is the young wife of a diplomat. She loves him and his young daughter. When complications arise, including murder, she'll do anything to protect them both.
    Considering her personality... good heavens!
    Enjoy!

    glalonzo0408. I'm always just a tad jealous of those who haven't yet read a great AC book that I've already experienced. Lucky you!!

    Let you know about what, The AM Dram version of Siders Web was not good 

  • shifra.shomronshifra.shomron
    I don't know what you mean by "the AM dram version" - I'm referring to the Charles Osborne (2000) novel adoptation. And I meant to let us know what you think of it after you read it - since it sounded like you were planning to "I didn't know it was in book form, I shall have to get it".

    I dislike all the Charles Osbourne versions, mainly because of Charles Osbourne's style. He simply wrote down the stage descriptions, and it's really obvious.

    In this novel, he does tell you at times what Clarissa is feeling. In a different novel adaption, he remained completely outside of the characters' heads - just telling you their actions, and what they said, instead of also adding their thoughts and feelings for characters for whom we are usually told. It was odd.

    I liked the book primarily on account of its setting. The style was alright.
