Book Description
Few tears fall when rich, spiteful old Mathilda Gillespie's bloody corpse is found her bathtub, her wrists slit and the ancient scold's bridle clamped on her head. It seems Mathilda's favorite heirloom was also an instrument of torture form the Middle Ages, an iron cage used to gag yapping women. Among the Dorset villagers, only Sarah Blakeney, Mathilda's doctor for her final year, seems even mildly disturbed that the miserable nag has been muzzled forever.

But suicide starts to look like homicide, and Sarah's sorrow seems a bit contrived when the bombshell drops that Mathilda has disinherited her daughter and granddaughter, leaving her entire fortune to Sarah. Now the object of vicious gossip and the police's prime suspect in a brutal murder, Sarah must prove her innocence by delving into Mathilda's past to unmask the real killer

Ah, le MBC de Toulouse : que de bons souvenirs :*

Pas possible de faire un acte totalement désintéréssé par ici... Bilbi, tu viens de transformer mon acte de générosité gratuite en un échange bassement matériel! Et mille merci pour cela!!

Thanks for this RABCK Bilbi, which turns my own RABCK into some kind of trade :-)

Well, Minette Walters did brilliantly. This is my fourth book by her, and the one I preferred together with "Acid Row". This one remembers me of PD James, another mystery author I like. Both of them are brilliant in depicting complex characters and relations between them.

I am planning to release this book in the wild during my summer vacation.

RELEASE NOTES:

I'll leave this book somewhere during my vacation in Mexico, and give more details about the release on my return.

Update (August 30, 2005): I left this book on August 24, 2005 in a room of the "Old Mill" hotel located at the bay of San Quintin (picture), a stopping place when traveling down to Bahía de los Ángeles, my final destination.

Just for fun, a picture taken at Bahía de los Ángeles: me and a whale shark...

RELEASE NOTES:

And now, a supplemental release note so that the status of the book is correct... and I take this opportunity to add a further picture taken at Bahía de los Ángeles: me and some sea lions :o)
