A stylish crime thriller from British author Ivor Drummond, The Jaws of the Watchdog is one of several entries in his celebrated series featuring the aristocratic trio of Jennifer Norrington, Count Alessandro di Ganzarello, and Colly Tucker — glamorous amateur sleuths who stumble into international intrigue and murder. With the same wit and sophistication that defined his earlier novels, Drummond constructs a plot involving stolen jewels, sinister villains, and deadly guardians, all set against an elegantly rendered backdrop. The narrative moves at a brisk, confident pace, blending light-hearted charm with genuinely menacing suspense. Drummond's series remains a fondly remembered gem of 1970s crime fiction, offering readers the perfect balance of cosy atmosphere and sharp, clever plotting.
