This is really quite interesting, I enjoy the Gothic vibes (think Rebecca) and the psychology of the characters and the slight symbolism every now and then. I have heard some people didn't like the ending. I really hope it's not the narrator getting together with Effingham as he is one of the least likable characters I have ever read.

My first Donna Leon. Very funny to think I got this from a fellow traveler in China, rather than just reading one of the near-complete collection of Commissario Brunetti books my late granny used to own

Is this the worst and most pretentious book I've ever read ...?

This must be one of the most old-world, male chums, English small-town books I've ever read:
"The Chief Constable of Winshire looked in at Kyle Manor the next morning, just at the right time for a glass of Madeira and a biscuit.
'Sorry to trouble you over this affair, Zellaby. Ghastly business - perfectly horrible. Can't make any sense of it [...]'

That's it. That's the vibe of the whole book.

3rd time reading this 🦋

A slow read but, just like the first two, an awesome novel
