In den ersten 70 Prozent des Buches passiert wenig bis gar nichts, außerdem ein sehr komisches Setting, vor allem die historischen Rückblicke... obwohl es von einer weiblichen Autorin ist fühlen sich die Charaktere teilweise stark nach 'women written by men' an

An okay thriller that tries to be a lot more literary than it can manage. The story goes on and on, and at nearly 400 pages it's at least 100 pages too long. The ending is unexpected, but in the least interesting way possible. Overall, the story is entertaining, but a bit bland.

5.0

This is a great old-style mystery where you have a new thought for who-dun-it with every twist and turn mixed with the modern-day ideas of divorce, loneliness, psychology, etc.

The only fault that I had, and I know it is really petty, is the main character and I share the same name and so far the same spinsterhood. (there is also something else, but no spoilers here)
