Walters's dark drama unfolds in the tiny Dorset village of Shenstead, where Col. James Lockyer-Fox's wife, Ailsa, dressed only in flimsy nightclothes and boots, has been found dead on the terrace of Shenstead Manor. A coroner's jury declares James not guilty, but a telephone harassment campaign by unknown persons accuses him not only of the murder but other heinous crimes as well. This unrelenting pressure drives the colonel into a deep and debilitating depression. London solicitor Mark Ankerton steps in to prove his friend James innocent and to clear up the question of just what Ailsa was doing locked out of the house on a freezing night in her underwear and Wellies. His investigation leads him to a nearby group of Travelers-modern-day gypsies who roam the countryside in converted buses-who are squatting on unclaimed land, attempting to seize the property. The Travelers are led by the monstrously evil Fox, whose own agenda is much more complicated than a simple desire for free real estate.

My Review: July 2006
It took me quite some time to get into the story. The first 100 pages were hard 'cause they confused me a bit. Too many story-strings woven together. In general, I have nothing against multiple strings in a story, quite the opposite.
Secondly the story went on very slow. Too many reduntant pages for my liking.
More details, more information and more twists kept coming. Not all of them were necessary but just kept adding to the confusion. But after a while you were at least interested in the outcome and so I hung in there and kept reading.
All in all it was a nice plot, I just think Walters could have written it better. This was my first book by her, I do have several others already (since she was always recommeded to me) and I'll see how her other thrillers are.

I took this from the English Bookcrossing meet-up last night. I read this book a long time ago and although it is not one of her best books it is still worth reading.
It will either end up in the OBCZ in Flanagans or will get relayed/traded/released.

I love all Minette Walters' books - this one wasn't quite as good as usual but still enjoyable - picked this book up at Flanagan's Irish Pub and will release into the Wild.
