About this book
An inverted crime novel, meaning the murderer is known to the reader from the beginning. Rather than examine clues and deductions by clever cops, the novel fastens on the personalities and character of the people involved. Excellent in style, straightforward plot, positively brilliant ending. Has drawn comparison to Francis Iles's 'Malice Aforethought.'
