Sinopse

&ldquo,The door!&rdquo, he shouted. &ldquo,The door!&rdquo, Every man in the room looked where Fifteen was looking. Above the water-lilies and the storks, where the top panel of the door had shown, there was a dark, empty space. The door was open. A girl, clad only in a night dress, is found walking in her sleep. Had she heard too much? Should she be &ldquo,eliminated&rdquo,? Jane Smith, an impecunious and intrepid heroine, finds herself in the wrong place at the right time, swept into an adventure which will include imposture, peril, romance and&hellip, murder. The Astonishing Adventure of Jane Smith, the first of Patricia Wentworth&rsquo,s mystery novels, was originally published in 1923. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. &ldquo,When I pick up a book by Patricia Wentworth I think, now to enjoy myself&mdash,and I always do.&rdquo, Mary Dell, Daily Mirror
