The Wheel Spins is the novel about young and bright Iris Carr, who is on her way back to England after spending a holiday somewhere in the Balkans. After she is left alone by her friends, Iris catches the train for Trieste and finds company in Miss Froy, chatty elderly English woman. When she wakes up from a short nap, she discovers that her elderly travelling companion seems to have disappeared from the train. After her fellow passengers deny ever having seen the elderly lady, the young woman is on the verge of her nerves. She is helped by a young English traveler, and the two proceed to search the train for clues to the old woman's disappearance. Ethel Lina White (1876-1944) was a British crime writer, best known for her novel The Wheel Spins, on which the Alfred Hitchcock film, The Lady Vanishes, was based.

The Wheel Spins aka The Lady Vanishes - this was a lot of fun! I've never seen the movie but would like to check it out. The MC wasn't very likeable but it's impossible not to sympathize with her distress. I liked how the overheard conversation between Hare and the professor, about the effectiveness of juries and reliability of witnesses, set a theme for how the journey would play out.

This vintage cover reminds me more of an old Harlequin romance than a mystery. 😄 #paranoia #novemberland

quirkyreader The cover on mine was more Gothic type. But yes this cover definitely screams M&B. Speaking of which last week I got over 20 boxes of them. And I am drowning. 8y
EloisaJames The hypodermic, though! Nancy Drew, grown up? 8y
rubyslippersreads @EloisaJames Very grown up, I think. 😄 8y
