An Amiable Charlatan by E. Phillips Oppenheim

I so enjoy E. Phillips Oppenheim! And, even better, ALL of his books are free on the e-reader because they are so old. I really like them and intend to plow through them all.

In this tale, ordinary (British) Paul Walmsley is sitting at dinner in Stephano's (in London, of course), at which he is a regular, when he is suddenly joined by a stranger who asks a particular favor of him. This favor launches him into love and adventure.

The other books by E. Phillips Oppenheim that I have read have a political flavor to them. This one absolutely did not. It did have a sweet little twist, though.

I particularly liked the intrepid nature of our hero, Paul Walmsley. He remained lovingly convinced of the pure nature of his lady, Eve Parker (an American), no matter what she seemed to be doing. Her father, by the way, is our titular amiable charlatan.

It was a fun, squeaky clean book that I enjoyed.
