Total Eclipse

One of the best mystery suspense novels I've ever read, and I'm very critical! Extremely literate, complex, and believable, as well as being very very creepy. Read it practically all at one sitting, couldn't put it down. Up there with Presumed Innocent and Silence of the Lambs, don't know why it's not more popular here in the US.

Buying a secondhand book by an unknown author is always a bit of a gamble so I was pleasantly surprised by this book which was one of the most readable, offbeat and engrossing thrillers I had read in some time. I did guess the ending quite early on but this in no way spoiled my enjoyment. The characters are highly believable and Ms Rigbey, without preaching at the reader, makes many valid points about the current day obsession with physical perfection. Only one complaint - I HAD to finish this book and sat up until the small hours to do it - now I'm knackered
