I read it myself a few years ago, intrigued by it having been the first CWA novel of the year. I agree that it's a very interesting and compelling book, though I seem to remember that the central revelation isn't difficult to foresee. I also recall that the novel's ending was very strong and elegant. Apart from a couple of books in the Poldark series, which I read in childhood, pressed on me by a friend whose family were all huge fans, this is the only Graham novel I've read. I have a copy of 'Marnie' on my 'to read' pile - but do you have any favourites amongst Graham's crime novels and thrillers?<br /><br />As it happens, at the Bristol book fair yesterday I saw a first edition of 'The Little Walls' for sale at £15. I wasn't tempted myself - too much else to spend my money on! - but surely that was a bargain for someone?<br /><br />Neil CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-42683741852161541112017-07-01T22:40:22.002+01:002017-07-01T22:40:22.002+01:00Thanks, Jonathan.
