This book was highly recommended to me - and I would have never finished it if it hadn't been! Slow starting and British, but I kept with it and it continued to draw me in until I wanted to finish it.
I really enjoyed this book.
The book wants to be literature but it's not.
When succesful author Gerald Candless dies of a sudden heart attack, his eldest, adoring daughter Sarah embarks on a memoir of him and soon discovers that her perfect father was not all he appeared to be. That infact he wasn't Gerald Candless at all. But then, who was he? And what terrible secret had driven him to live a lie for all those years?
Very intellectual but not really a murder mystery as advertised. It is a mystery and has alot of character development.
