A Fatal Inversion

Rating:
Summary: incredible; sheer pleasure to read
Review: Unlike the vast majority of mystery writers, Rendell/Vine can actually write-- the characters are richly drawn, the plots incredibly convoluted, and the writing is sheer pleasure to read. This is not a mindless, hackneyed mystery to skim while on the train, though, it requires real attention; and while the murderer is obvious from the beginning, the questions of who was actually murdered and why are very slowly revealed as the plot thickens.

Summary: An excellent read
Review: Very good book which I recommend to anyone but could anybody explain the final twist to me please?

Summary: Great character development
Review: Vine has taken great efforts to develop many of her characters, big and small. Unfortunately the details for me became tedious and it did take a long time to get into the meat of the story. As a final critique, the average reader would need an unabridged dictionary close by to understand some of the words which seem to have been thrown in just for the sake of using them.
