Helpful Score: 5

Once again, Dunant does not fail to impress me with her suspense writing. While I love her historical fiction debut ('The Birth of Venus'), I've been equally impressed with her earlier suspense novels ('Mapping the Edge', 'Snowstorms in a Hot Climate') and am eager to dive into the Hannah Wolfe mysteries.

This novel had me on the edge of my seat -- wondering just how it was going to end. Bits and pieces of it are graphic; at times I cringed as I was reading it. However, as with 'Mapping the Edge' I found myself eager to keep reading to find out what would happen next and concerned for hte protagonist's well-being. Put on some Van Morrison, kick off your shoes and curl up with a good read (this book).
