Just a word about this whole story. It is beautifully portrayed and plotted. It also introduced me to Anthony Horowitz as a writer (although I saw all of "Foyle's War" but didn't know he wrote the screenplay--an outstanding series). Once again, we have the balancing of the Susan Ryeland and Atticus Pund, playing off one another. Atticus becomes Susan's alter ego as he feeds her information which is obviously in her own mind--he being fictional. We spend time at two funerals, one attended by Bund and one by Ryeland. We also have a photo, sent to Susan showing her Greek lover, supposedly strangling the author/victim. She confronts him and it is proven that he has lied to her. We are given more information about the death of the little boy twelve years earlier. Susan decides to visit her dying father, and he tells her something that tears her apart.
