Journal Entry 1 by boucli from Toulouse, Midi-Pyrénées France on Thursday, May 15, 2003

7 out of 10

In prison, they call her the Sculptress for the strange figurines she carves-- symbols of the day she hacked her mother and sister to pieces and reassembled them in a blood-drenched jigsaw. Sullen, menacing, grotesquely fat, Olive Martin is burned-out journalist Rosalind Leigh's only hope of getting a new book published.

But as she interviews Olive in her cell, Roz finds flaws in the Sculptress's confession. Is she really guilty as she insists? Drawn into Olive's world of obsessive lies and love, nothing can stop Roz's pursuit of the chilling, convoluted truth. Not the tidy suburbanites who would rather forget the murders, not an attack on her life-- not even the thought of what might happen if the Sculptress went free...

reserved for Kundri (reverse wishlist relay)

The book is now at my house. It took a long time, but since my mailbox is broken I have to go to the post office to pick up my letters. I don't go there very often...

Boucli, I take this opportunity to tell you that it's thanks to you I discovered Minette Walters! You recommended her on this thread. So thank you twice: for sending me this book I wished for, and for recommending books by Minette Walters on the French forum!

As usual, I wasn't disappointed by Minette Walters. The portraits of Olive, Roz and Hal were really touching. My only concern was maybe the end: I couldn't really picture the real murderer as a cruel "scuptress" who dismember corpses.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I will release this book during a trekking around the Kawa Karpo mountain, which is located at the border between the Chinese regions of Yunnan and Tibet. I am landing at the airport of Zhongdian, so I will maybe leave the book there.

Update of October 17, 2008: I left the book on a bookshelf of the lovely "Nan Ka Ming Dian" hotel located in Zhongdian (see pix).
