A review by latas
Seven Years by Peter Robinson

5.0

Have you ever found inscriptions in 2nd hand books and tried to figure the mystery behind those scribblings? Have you tried to think how the previous owner looked and their mannerisms and their occupation? Well, I have tried that, but my imagination is quite limited.

Here, the MC, professor Donald Aitcheson has vivid imagination and when he reads a note in a second had book, he pictures a wicked plot. When he continues his investigation, he finds himself in a scene which is much more sinister than he had imagined. I liked the twists in such a short book, as in most of Peter Robinson's short stories.
