Fog of Doubt

Rating:
Summary: An incredibly ingenious tour-de-force
Review: On re-reading after many years, this should be 5 stars, not 4!

This is a tour-de-force, with the "modus operandi" revealed in the very last line of the book. A master of the classic detective story with stricly defined and adhered to limits, Brand is at the same time an original. There is no other writer like her . The book suffers somewhat in the middle as to clarity, but, believe me, this is a plotter (and a device) of the first order. Second only to her GREEN FOR DANGER and better than the best of many others.
