Pentecostal. MARNIE by Winston Graham is a gripping story of Margaret El- mer, known as "Mamie" to some She was a business girl, exception- ally gifted in accountancy. I per- sonally have a great deal of re- spect for persons of such ability With such a gift, however. It was,. unfortunate for society that Mar- nie was also a pathological thief and liar. She was clever, bitter unscrupulous, curiously detached, Her undoing came when she al- Lo.wed.herself to get married. Be- cause of this the curtains of the past were gradually parted and wr begin to see why she has lived in a make-believe world so long. S us - pens) in almost every page keeps one reading. I was not convinced that the conclusion was probable although I would admit it was pos- sible. Mr. Graham's earlier "Thr rtmlblcd.

However, as always hi: prose is polished, his settings wel evoked and the swirl of emotions he calls forth have real impact, DARK LANTERN by Christopher Smart is a real 1]irillor set in prosrnt_da} Germany.

HIs second attempt at escape spoils tate coup, however, by which the group hoped to restore the Nazis to power. Before you declare this is too far_ fetched, let me remind you that even recently in news reports there have been tales of swastikas scrawled on walls. Basis for this story, thus, is credible. A dash of romance enlivens the tale; a very clear insight into the working of the German mind is presented— especially is revealed the • fearful single-mindedness of a party mem- ber --for the cause anything.is pos- sible and permissible. I think both books give one a little to think on—as well as pro- viding good entertainment. • A, nn.a McDonald. Is W.I.
