From the cover:
"Dr Victoria McClellan, English Fellow at All Saint's College, Cambridge, is writing a biography of the tortured poet Lydia Brooke, five years after Brooke's tragic suicide.
As a student at Cambridge in the early sixties, Lydia had become obsessed with poet Rupert Brooke. Now Vic in turn has become immersed in Lydia's life - and she cannot believe the poet died by her own hand..."
From what I remember by far the best of Deboray Crombie's books and an outstanding mystery. I hope you enjoy it!

I took it with me from the Meet-Up in Düsseldorf on Tuesday.
Im Rahmen der Assoziationschallenge habe ich nun zu diesem schon lange im Regal stehenden Buch gegriffen. Der Begriff "Verwertung" führte mich zu den Knochen, da nach dem Tod alle sterblichen Überreste verwertet werden und schließlich nur noch die Knochen überbleiben.
The first part of the book was a rather difficult read for me. I couldn't get quite into the story. I felt the letters of Lydia to her mother in each chapter were quite disturbing an made no real sense for me (which didn't change through the whole book) and the story was rather boring. Besides the shifting between the persons and time when the things happened to the persons made it difficult to follow. That got better in the second part where the story grew full of suspense as well. I nearly couldn't put the book away during the last hundred pages.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Als ich jetzt in den Umzugskisten nach Büchern für Stepninas "Gelesen 2011 Box" stöberte, stieß ich auf dieses gleich doppelt passende Buch: Es paßt zur Box und wie sich herausstellte, habe ich es zwar bereits 2011 gelesen, aber es ist ein fremdes Buch, das schon ewig bei mir ist. Nach genauerer Prüfung stellte sich heraus, dass sogar das älteste fremde Buch ist, das hier ist. Also ist es auch gleich ein Fall für die "Ich bin dann mal weg..." Challenge.
Mit der Box hier angekommen.
Das ist eher nichts für mich.
Wenn Englisch, dann kein Krimi (und nicht so dick ;-)
