Shannon Terror
Theodora Dubois

Another one from the library sale. It had “WITHDRAWN” stamped on the inside. I love the feeling of getting something few other people have!

Constance and her aunt Mattie are Americans vacationing in Ireland, when their rented boat gives out and they have to seek out help at a nearby isolated castle, which sits on its own little island on the Shannon river. Inside they find a dying man, who has just been shot. He tells them with his dying breath who shot him and why, and all hell breaks loose. An eclectic group of rich people are soon after the women, capturing and locking them in the castle, from which Constance escapes and is chased all the way down the Shannon as she looks for help. Dragged in a few places, but good reading on the whole. ( )
