The whole
world is against her : a wealthy, haughty, utterly selfish family with no
morality and no brains ; local population with a witch-hunting medieval
mentality and dullard policemen who just can’t cope. There are exceptions : two
kind neighbors… and a half-hearted exception : a sensible man who is torn
between some overwhelming evidence of guilt, a twitch of physical attraction
and the simple, logical conclusion that everything is not right. Inevitably,
this will bloom into an attractive love story.
Red
herrings swim happily in the murky waters of this human aquarium. To make it
worse, the story takes place on a small island : a beautiful environment, but
it makes you feel hemmed in and claustrophobic !
In short,
this novel is a little gem.
