Memento Mori by Muriel Spark

3.0

I wouldn't have thought that a book about a group of stuffy British septuagenarians (in the 1950s) could be gripping. Muriel Spark is an excellent writer. The pretext for the plot is vaguely thriller like (the previously mentioned group of elderly people starts getting a series of anonymous threatening phone calls) but this book couldn't be more different from a mystery. Social commentary and satire is more like it. Not my favourite Spark but I'm happy I read it.
