The Scold's Bridle by Minette Walters
Reader Reviews A good read for mystery lovers, December 19, 2001 Reviewer: Robert L Knetsch from Toronto, Ontario Canada Walters has woven a narrative that starts out rather slow and takes untilt he middle of the book to really get the reader interested. Nontheless, her ability to develop god characters, contrary to other opinions I have seen here, are excellent. The tangled web that surrounds the life of a wretched and sometimes-wicked old lady is startling and the reader is anxious to know who the killer is - if even there is one. It is good to read a non-American novel, with good British prose amidst the culture of small-town nosiness. With a mixture of homour and horror, Walters writes a good tale that gives credence to her fame as a world-class mystery writer.
