Book review - "Caravan to Vaccares" by Alistair MacLean (1970)

The movie adaptation was bad but this was an enjoyable tale - a mystery man meets up with a woman and investigates why gypsies killed someone. The atmosphere of the Spanish setting is well evoked - bullfights, small hotels, caves, hot plains.

The normal dashing hero, and I got the two lead women mixed up, but a bright villain killer and I enjoyed the enigmatic Duke. It feels like a novel rather than a film script. A strong entry.
