The Blood Doctor by Barbara Vine, Ruth Rendell

5.0

Really terrific book. It took me a little while to get into b/c the narrator is a biographer doing a lot of family tree research so a lot of names and relationships right off the bat, plus he's in the House of Lords so a lot of parlimentary procedure right off the bat, but once i got into it, i really could not put it down. BV (RR) has a way of sucking you into a story or several stories at the same time and this is her most complex and best yet. Utterly fascinating and compelling. The very ending seemed a bit anticlimactic to me until I realized the full impact of what had happened. Great!
