Format:Paperback
I have enjoyed Frances Fyfield's crime novels in the past, but this one I found just plain weird to the extent that it was unbelievable. The burglar brother with his art obsession, the artist character sketching a woman who's just fallen to her death, the relationships the characters form with each other - none of that rang true for me.
I got impatient with all the strange introspection of all the strange characters too - like having to listen to the ramblings of someone with mental health issues on the bus. I was longing for a nice ordinary sane character to appear.
Weird weird weird.

An artist sitting under a cliff bird watching is disturbed by the body of a young girl hurtling past. Instead of reporting it immediately, or going to her assistance, he continues sketching. He sketches the body. He becomes a suspect, though it is not certain whether she killed herself or was thrown from the cliff. The police doctor makes friends with him. Together, with the help of Sarah Fortune and other residents of the apartment building in which Richard Beaumont lives they piece events together and uncover the perpetrators of the girl's murder and the crime that has been going on under their noses.

I've never read Frances Highfield before but the obsequious reviews led me to buy this. The chief problem is that she doesn't bother to develop her central character Sarah Fortune. She must assume you already know her, which is a problem if you don't, so whilst she's very sympathetic and all that, she barely has any character at all.The plot is just acceptable and the other characters have more validity, so you'll finish the book and be interested enough to find it worth writing a review.
