Reviews with the most likes.
The arrival of an enigmatic stranger, Mr. Cadmus, wreaks havoc on the denizens of the idyllic English village of Little Camborne; most notably two apparently harmless women, Miss Finch and Miss Swallow. This is a great example of the comic and the serious as we move back to war torn Italy and also explore small town England. There is the mystery of a buried treasure and the intrigue of events that only seem to happen once Mr. Cadmus is about.
