Title: I can't believe that I'm only the 2nd one to review Burdett's debut novel
Review: This is just too good a book to have attracted so little interest so far.Okay, it doesn't work as a whodunnit. If you flip a coin to decide which of the two most likely suspects are the murderer, there's a 50% chance of your being right. But that's totally unimportant. I won't recount the plot since the other reviewer has done a splendid job of that. I'll just comment that this does get you immersed in the infernal triangle involving the victim and the two suspects. The crux of the story lies in the three cornered relationship and in the portrayal of the three characters involved. Really, there are no good guys (or gal) and no bad guys (or gal) here. The story is of three human beings with individual personalities and codes of ethics. And as a first novel, this book establishes the author as a master of his crafy who has continued to give us some splendid novels.
