A review by harvio
Aiding and Abetting: A Novel by Muriel Spark, Muriel Spark

1.0

- my lowest rating ever given to a book that I've finished
- repetitive, choppy, and difficult to read, this poorly-written fictional/surrealistic interpretation of a real-life story was a real exercise in frustration for me
- the real story, upon which this book was based, was so interesting that I kept hoping to learn more about it
- In 1974, the 7th Earl Of Lucan (a member of the British aristocracy) accidentally murdered his children's nanny in an abortive attempt to kill his wife. He then completely disappeared!
- I wouldn't mind ready a non-fiction account of this case.
