There were many great mysteries throughout the story and the ending, although not overly amazing, had a nice little romantic twist to it. I didn't like the newspaper clippings strewn throughout the novel though. ( ) Giallo psicologico da leggere tutto d'un fiato. Tanti colpi di scena. La protagonista sembra aver tentato il suicidio in seguito all'abbandono del suo promesso sposo, dopodichè ha una perdita di memoria e viene ricoverata in clinica. Sarà vero? Avrà inscenato tutto per coprire tre omicidi? E se non è stata lei, chi è stato? Il padre, uno dei fratelli sciagurati? Tra il finale a sorpresa e le note romantiche, davvero un bel libro. I read this book when it first came out in the mid 90's and images it evoked are still with me today more than 20 years later. Walters can write characters that are so well drawn they become indelible images of people known and touched even so briefly through her novels. Images of Jinx working in her studio still visit me when I think of rock groups. Images of the 'home' in which she awoke come to mind when modern facilities are mentioned in passing conversations. I found The Ice House to carry forward in my memory with the same intensity. The description of three women caring for and remodeling their home inspired me to follow in their footsteps so much so that I will be tearing my dishwasher apart later today. More than 20 years success with similar projects all started with Minette Walters ability to present characters who have touched my heart. no reviews | add a review
In this acclaimed psychological mystery, Jinx Kingsley, a prominent photographer and millionaire' s daughter, wakes up in an exclusive hospital suffering from amnesia. Not only can she not remember the car accident that caused her memory loss, but she doesn' t remember that her impending wedding has been called off or that her former fiancé and his girlfriend have been brutally murdered in the same way her first husband had been ten years before. Now she must try to piece together her memories in order to determine her innocence. With deft psychological explorations and shocking twists, Walters brings the story to an awe-inspiring conclusion.
