The Breaker by Minette Walters

4.0

At its heart, this is a classic whodunnit with a small pool of suspects. The genius of Walters is how she keeps peeling away the veneers of the characters to expose layer upon layer of pyschological fungi that Agatha Christie may have dreamed about but certainly couldn't write about. The twists, turns and surprises are completely believable as are the characters. I am again impressed with how Walters can weave so many story lines together without slowing down her plot and wrap them all up to a satisfying finish. Even the resolution is constructed in such a way to keep you turning the pages. Terrific!
