Tour de Force by Christianna Brand
First published in 1956, Brand's classic novel skewers the package holiday experience while unravelling one of the most audacious and devilish mysteries in the history of the genre.“Written with much ingenuity, gaiety of colour and bright, joyful malice.. Christianna Brand’s readers are also taken on holiday in Tour de Force.”
– Julian Symons in the Times Literary Supplement, 1955
