A Dark-Adapted Eye by Barbara Vine

3.0

3.5 This is a psychological suspense novel rather than your typical mystery, because it is attempting to go back and uncover why a murder occurred, why the person who did it, did it. And in this instance, it is all fascinatingly meshed with complicated and sprawling family relations and about why people do and don't love. In the end Faith still hasn't decided whether Vera or Eden was Jamie's biological mother but I'm with Jamie--Vera was his mother--she's the one who loved and nurtured him.
