Louise Cray, fictional character from the mystery novel Madam, Will You Talk? By Mary Stewart.
I enjoy a good mystery and I recently discovered a new-to-me mystery author, Mary Stewart (1916-2014). Apparently her books were categorized Mystery/Romance back in the day, but don’t let the romance part put you off. There is just a touch of romance; the focus is the independent female protagonist and the mystery she is there to solve, not to mention all the adventures she has along the way.
Madam, Will You Talk? was published in 1955 and I recently happened upon a BBC radio dramatized version. Click here to listen.

How much fun.
I hope you listen and enjoy the BBC drama.
I came across this book at a thrift shop early this year. I loved it!!
You have the best luck at thrift stores!
Thanks for the reminder about dressing Up! I just did that before a phone interview. I was not feeling up to it BUT being dressed made the interview work period. Thank you for the reminder!t was very helpful .
You are most welcome. Making an effort to dress well is always worth it. Thanks for reading ODFL.
I too love a classic mystery. One with complex characters, emotional intrigue, and lost loves.
