A review by janey
A Dark-adapted Eye by Barbara Vine, Ruth Rendell

4.0

Exactly what I needed and wanted. I'm ill and my attention span is affected, and so I needed something a little lighter to fill the spaces between naps. This was just on the border of incomprehensible to me, due to the somewhat complicated family tree, but at some point the pieces clicked together. This book is so different from the frantic pace of the Gone Girls and the Girl on the Trains that are shoved at us today, and yet so much more serious and thoughtful than the "cozy" mysteries in which the fact of a murder is taken rather lightly, and it is a much better book for these differences.
