"Is there a spell on this place?" I remember asking my mother. "Don't be so stupid, Thomas," she said. `Magic isn't real."Thomas Penmarsh has always lived at Finisterre, the house by the sea.

Andrew Taylor’s literary mystery is set in London in the early 1930's, in that uneasy period between the Great Wars. Aristocrat Lydia Langstone leaves her violent husband and having no one else to turn to moves in with her ne'er-do-well drunken Father, Captain Ingleby-Lewis. Their scruffy, lodging h...
This turned out to be a sort of stealth reread, since before I got to the second chapter I had a sudden vision of exactly how it ended, without any particular memory of what happened in between. Not so very much, as it turned out--the only mystery-solving takes place in a single and complete flash ...
First published book in the Roth Trilogy (though the third chronologically). A female Anglican curate and her policeman husband are rocked by the kidnapping of their daughter. Lots of church politics and theology.

Nothing really to get you...

I enjoyed it, but it doesn't have the depth or characterisation as The American Boy or The Roth trilogy has. Still a fun read though. It's not a wh...
