RaveNPR... part whodunit, part psychological thriller (à la Barbara Vine and Patricia Highsmith), and wholly successful ... As past and present crimes collide uneasily, French\'s plot twists and turns will bamboozle even the most astute reader, and the scene, close to the end of the novel, in which Cassie interrogates a suspect, will remain in your mind long after you finish the book. Because these characters are so well drawn, I almost wish French would write another novel about them, but a more sensible voice (my own) tells me that it wouldn\'t be the same and I should just be delighted to have found such a well-written, expertly plotted thriller.
