On shipboard she gets involved with a mystery involving murder, faked identities, stolen diamonds, organized crime, Russian dancers, and wooden giraffes. She gets her chance when she spends her last £87, left by her dead and not-so-missed father, on a boat ticket to South Africa. Less of a sleuth and more of a thrill seeker, Anne doesn’t want to end up a secretary, but instead wants to poke around in something bloody and mysterious. Rating: Not the Traditional Christie: A Peppy 1920s ThrillerĪnne Beddingfeld, young, impressionable, erratic, and deeply romantic in that danger seeking, 1920s flapper sort of way (with all the accoutrements of shopping, diamonds, murderous men, and voyages to the far away) is not your typical Agatha Christie heroine.

The new trade policy would not have come about as speedily without Chidambaram. On his own, without Rao’s constant support, he would not have done it. But Manmohan Singh is a reticent man and cautious by nature. It needed Manmohan Singh to come and change the nation’s mind-set to growth. In a brilliant move, he set up a set of committees-bank reform under Narsimhan, tax reform under Chelliah, and insurance reform under Malhotra-and they provided crucial intellectual sustenance and legitimacy for reform measures in these areas.
