- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5!!Loads of spoilers!!
G. M. Malliet got me with this book. I’m already a fan of her books-think Max Tudor and Augusta Hawke. So I stumbled into this one thinking I would have much the same reading experience: her writing is intelligent, funny and I enjoy the escape that challenges me. That’s what I love about my British mysteries.
But I got stuck with an anti-hero experience, which didn’t correspond with my 1964 Disneyesque expectation. This protagonist-ANTAGONIST chick was bold; she was ruthless, AND she was a psychopath. I had suspicions of that fairly early, but pushed through my disillusionment about Malliet’s thematic deviation.
Skip ahead: now I want to figure out a way to teach a college English class that examines the anti-heroine in fiction.1 person found this helpful
