What I thought: enjoyed this as I do most Minette Walters books. Once again, her story line is fresh and not simply a rehash of something written before. I did find myself getting a little lost though with all the characters and their connections to each other. In the end, all questions are answered, but the tangled web weaved to create the story left me feeling that I might have missed something.
Recommended for: lovers of quality crime fiction and Minette Walters fans.
