A review by offenbach
A Fatal Inversion by Barbara Vine
4.0
Great, solid mystery. I'm not usually a fan of slow reveal books like this (you know from the start what happened, but not quite, who it happened to, but not quite, and who did it, but not quite), but this was engaging without making me want to shout 'get on with it already.'
Read this as part of attempt to read through one of those '100 best mysteries' lists. Was waffling between three and four stars, but think it really deserves four. Good plot and characters - that's what a mystery novel needs, right? And Barbara Vine/Ruth Rendell creates such amazing, flawed characters.
