"The tradition of the English whodunnit has passed into the safe hands and dangerous imagination of Minette Walters." (The Times)
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
The newspapers reported the case with relish. Jane (Jinx) Kingsley, fashion photographer and heiress, tried to kill herself after being unceremoniously jilted by her fiance, who has since disappeared - together with Jinx's best friend Meg...But when Jinx wakes from her coma, she can remember nothing about the alleged suicide attempt. With the help of Dr Alan Protheroe of the Nightingale Clinic, she slowly begins to piece together the fragments of the last few weeks. Then the memories begin to surface...Memories of utter desperation and absolute terror.

Minette Walters manages to do it again in a little known of book. She manages to get inside the heads of her charcters in this book which is crucial to the plot. With so many twists you never predict the ending until you read it. It also has the human desparation factor you feel for Jinx and want her to succeed in her life. Her doctor is probably the most important person in her life and plays a central role but it is the add on characters that create the most intrigue like her father and brother. She has been battered and bruised but the question is why has she been left for dead? If you enjoy not being able to put a book down then this is the book for you.

I love Minette Walters' books and this one is as good as any she has written. The intrigue lasts to the very last minute. They are always dark and full of suspense. A book that you don't want to put down until you have finished reading.

I can't understand some of the reviews on this book - i.e. dismissive - Walters is a writer given to detail as much as story line and if you expect anything different you shouldn't read her books. The Dark Room was good - once again the family lunch and supper was delayed - she never fails to deliver - and if she repeats little things like PDQ so what - such things do not detract from her hold on the reader.

Excellent plot but what a tedious read...
This is the second Minette Walters novel I have read, the other being The Shape of Snakes, and I got as little pleasure from this one as I did the first. Read more

Pretty Good Read
This was my first Minette Walters book and I will definately read more. I like her style of writing, not over-describing the actions/thoughts of the characters. You know, like.... Read more

Didn't care about the characters
I did enjoy most of the book, but I had trouble sympathizing with the characters. I didn't care about Jinx, the recovering car crash victim with amnesia. Read more

Having only just "discovered" Minette Walters a short time ago I'm now ploughing through her books and this was yet another favourite. Read more

This is a brilliant book
I really enjoyed this book. Minette Walters keeps you guessing until the end and the twist is amazing. I have read all except her latest book and feel this is the best so far. Read more
