מידע על הספר הדיגיטלי הזה
A classic of the crime genre, A Fatal Inversion plunges you into the darker side of humanity with a plot that will keep you guessing throughout!
'An absolute winner . . . a gripping read from start to end' Daily Mail
'Brilliant. Vine has the kind of near-Victorian narrative drive' Sunday Times
'I defy anyone to guess the conclusion' Daily Telegraph
*****
In the long hot summer of 1976, a group of young adults camp in Wyvis Hall, a beautiful Suffolk country house, after one of them unexpectedly inherits it. Revelling in their self-indulgent, irresponsible paradise, they scavenge, steal and sell heirlooms - to entertain and simply exist.
Ten years later, when the current owner buries their beloved dog in the Hall's animal cemetery, the bodies of a woman and child are discovered. But which woman? And whose child? As the facts slowly emerge, their past begins to catch up with them . . .
Written under Ruth Rendell's pen name, Barbara Vine, if you enjoy the novels of P.D. James, Ian Rankin and Scott Turow, you will love this book.
