I have just finished Minette Walters’ crime novel The Ice House. I can recommend the book, because contrary to many works of crime fiction, it is well written: the plot is complicated, intriguing, yet convincing, and what is best: language and style are good! The book may even be too complicated for bedside reading.
The book was recommended to me as “queer writing”, which it is not! Although some of the characters are presumed to be lesbians, the book is definitely written from a straight perspective. It may be too British for me to understand certain undertones, though. Be it as it may… it’s fun reading!
