5.0 out of 5 stars darkly humerous thriller, 20 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How the Dead Live (Hardcover)
The detective with no name and a very sad past surpasses himself in a trip to the countryisde. His encounter with the local police force is wonderfully funny yet the dark secret of the disappearing french wife of the doctor will surprise you. Some wistful philosophy too.

4.0 out of 5 stars A brilliantly atmospeheric novel, 11 Jan 2008
This is a fantastic book. Centred on an old country house, it has a haunting feel to it and one which the author ties to the 2nd World war and a generation betrayed. And then there is Raymond's prose which at times is almost poetic. So why 4 stars and not 5? Well, at times Raymond gets a little too carried away with himself, his prose becomes a little too florid and he almost goes off on a philosophical tangent. However all in all this is a good read and I enjoyed it immensely.
