lazygal's review against another edition
4.0
Usually a Reginald Hill mystery gets an automatic 5-star rating but not this one. Yes, it's well-plotted and very well-written but there were a few things that just didn't ring quite true. The constant twists, Trudi's rapid personality change, and the ending all combined to a "this is just a little off" feeling. Still a recommended read, but not a Must Read.

Very different from his Dalziel and Pascoe novels. Hill is one of the most literate detective writers extant and I enjoy his later work a lot. This was an enjoyable read although the ending startled me in an unsatisfying way.
