Ms Bowen does a good job here, keeping the reader – or this one at least – engaged from the offset. It helped that the previous book I read was Alexandre Dumas’s biography of the Marquise de Brinvilliers, so it was like reading a sequel.
The author keeps suspense and intrigue high throughout the narrative. Policeman Charles Desgrez makes for a strong main character.
I especially like the occasions when Desgrez’s wife, Solange, partakes in some detective work. She’s not employed by the authorities or anything of that nature. She does this as a favour, or out of love, and the few scenarios that she gets involved with are among the most compelling in the book.
A very good read. ( )
