Under The Net (Vintage Classics Murdoch Series) by Murdoch, Iris, Ryan, Kiernan

Description

This is real life, Jake,’ she said. ‘You’d better wake up.’

Jake is clever, lazy and scraping by in London as a hack translator. Jake

loves Anna. Anna is an elusive and lovely singer. Anna loves Hugo. Hugo is a

fireworks manufacturer turned movie producer and majestic philosopher. Hugo

loves Sadie. Sadie is a glossy and dazzling film starlet. Of course, Sadie

loves Jake. Then there’s Marvellous Mister Mars, the famous hound, who might

or might not be Jake’s ticket up and out of this mess.
