Really enjoyed it. I became very fond of the protagonist, and her brother, and felt genuine concern when things happened to them. Plus, it was a good mystery, right up to the end. Happy to see there are 2 more in this series.

But now I'm reading P. D. Jane's Original Sin. Wow. No wonder she's so highly acclaimed. Just like the cover says, "..a detective thriller in the grand manner, profoundly enriched by P. D. James's ability to evoke an atmosphere of suspense and to create characters whose psychology is plausible and gripping." True dat.

Wide Sargasso Sea is a big blast from the past. I read that probably 30 years ago and remember japple Mar 2015 #10
