4.5. My first experience with Vine/Rendell and I loved it. Read on the beach in Florida and it couldn't have been better. Moody, mysterious, English manor murder story.

In the long hot summer of 1976, a group of young people are camping in Wyvis Hall. Adam, Rufus, Shiva, Vivien and Zosie hardly ask why they are there or how they are to live; they scavenge, steal and sell the family heirlooms. In short, they exist. Ten years later, the bodies of a woman and child are discovered in the Hall's animal cemetery.

Less a whodunnit than a who-was-it-done-to. Interesting characters and a tense set up but over long and lost momentum in the last third. Fantastically written for a crime thriller though.

A psychological mystery involving a group of young college students who attempt to live an idyllic life together in a large mansion. There are many elements of Lord of the Flies in this novel.
