Helpful Score: 1


I'll admit, after reading a reviewer say she couldn't put this book down, I was confused. The first few chapters provided insight into post war life in London - nicely written and insightful, but hardly getting under your skin.

But wait, because the Author continues to peel away layers of the characters' personal thoughts, fears and passions in a way, that does get under your skin. Eventually you are treated with a palpable heat coming off of each page.

The story develops into a crime theme, that starts out rather unbelievable. And then develops in ways you would least expect.

All in all, a most enjoyable read.
