Description

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 Ann Cleeves, you will love this book.

*****

One of the best Barbara Vine novels Goodreads Review

Not an ordinary mystery . . . it is compelling and certainly thought-provoking Goodreads Review

Vine is expert at the slow disclosure of facts and feelings Goodreads Review
