Although I was a little put off by the title, don't be! This is a compelling novel. It's a really great read, with interesting and believable characters, and an unexpected storyline. It keeps you second guessing to the end. Time flew by as I wanted to see how it all unfolded and found it to be the type of book where you'll just read one more chapter ...... fatal but fun! I can see this as being a good book club read as there will be much to discuss. Tom Sharpe meets Lawrence Block.
This author always has original ideas for her books and this is no exception: a rather naïve estate agent finds himself inextrictably embroiled in a somewhat weird commune losing its identity. Many twists and turns to follow in the ingenious plot.
