Search - The Devil's Feather

Minette Walters is one of my favorite authors and I am always excited to read one of her novels. Unfortunately, this one falls short in comparison to any of her previous books. There are parts which are brilliantly written and the tenseness and psychological elements she is known for are here - but too sparingly. It is almost like this was an earlier work, not that of the seasoned author I have come to enjoy. For the first time, I felt myself dragging my way through one of her books. Hopefully, this is just a fluke and her next novel will be up to the standard I have come to expect from her.

This is a thriller that is so well-written you feel it must have been a real life experience and not fiction. The constant question to myself was "what would I do under these circumstances?". Highly recommended.

Another excellent story from one of the greatest mystery/crime writers in the world.
