I can only tell you that when she got back from Panama Margot said to me exactly what she had said to Joan Thring: ‘I can’t understand it, they were our best friends, and we had dinner with Jimenez and his wife the night before I left.’ At the mention of the word ‘wife’ I knew exactly what had happened and so, for a ghastly moment, I think did she. The only time Daneman is led astray is by Tito’s relations, when she quotes them as saying that his shooting was part of a political conspiracy and not a crime passionnel as we poor romantic English like to think. The account of the shooting and crippling of Margot’s husband, Tito Arias, in 1964, in Panama, her reactions to it, the subsequent story up to his death and her own terrible illness is brilliantly done. It is an aspect of the conventional and traditional intelligence test constructs that measure verbal ability, quantitative reasoning, and logical. The second half of the book is the most thrilling. Meredith Daneman has left no stone unturned, even those Margot might have preferred to have remained undisturbed. That said, this is a gripping story, and there is not much that one can add to it. ![]()
