A very strange little book. The style reminded me a bit of Jeanette Winterson, but darker and more sinister. Somehow, the book didn't quite come together for me despite the interesting elements and lyrical prose. The facts about female murderers were interesting and provided a nice backdrop for the story of this strange British family living in Mexico City. But the main character, Emily Neale, never really came alive enough for me to be that interested in her story.

My 3rd J. Clements novel. And as enjoyable as always. She is officially one of my favorite writers.
SPOILER ALERT:
The ending!! What I am supposed to to make of it? Did she kill her father and made it look like her brother did it. But why?
Or she planned to get rid of her brother. But why then in his own clothes? Has anyone an idea??
