First in the Thomas Pitt series, it begins with a look at a well to do family living in the midst of violence and fear brought on by a killer of local women, both servants and their mistresses.
I like the atmosphere she invokes and the mystery is complex with a lot of red herrings thrown around.
This was a re-read for me, but from so long ago I’d forgotten most of it. Also I’d conflated it with a movie version I saw some time ago, the movie having altered major bits (to its detriment, I thought).
Re-reading so I can continue the series.
