I enjoyed this mind-bending story, although it took me a while to disentangle the plot strands.A man dies a few hundred yards from his house. That's unusual--and the investigators soon find themselves drawn into a mystery far more serious and far-reaching than they could have imagined. Before long, more inexplicable deaths occur, shady characters loom in the background, and leads are few and far between. Strangely, there appears to be more than one murderer at large; and almost nothing seems to link the victims.I shan't spoil any of the revelations, but the novel's climax is both thrilling and, somewhat unusually, poses a nuanced moral dilemma for all the characters and the reader to mull over.
