Summary

One fateful summer evening, businessman Robin Timariot meets a strikingly beautiful woman while out walking. They exchange only a few words, but those words prove to be unforgettable. A few days later, the newspapers are full of the rape and murder of Lady Louise Paxton - and to his horror, Timariot realises that this was the woman he met just hours before her death.

A man is swiftly charged and convicted of the crime, but a series of bizarre events begin to convince Timariot that all is not what it seems. Against his better judgment, he is soon sucked into the tortuous complexity of the dead woman's life. But the closer Timariot gets to the truth, the more hideous and uncertain it seems to be. And far too late, he realises that anybody who uncovers it is unlikely to live....

I feel as if this book was about 100 hours long. Great, if convoluted, murder story dragged out to such an extent that the drama was all but lost. Good narration.

Thought it would never end

Sorry Robert, but no - just no.

More fool me for choosing to stick with it to the bitter end - no one was forcing me!

At the time (early 90s) it was likely a good read but it hasn't aged well.

John Telfer's narration saved an otherwise disappointing book.

"Good god!" as the main character often says.
