A Dark-Adapted Eye by Barbara Vine
This is probably the best-plotted book I have ever read. When Vine is at her best, as she is here, both the writing and the story are compelling. With this one, the reader knows from the first page who done it, but not why or how. Very slowly it unravels until, finally, you discover just what happened. The reader is constantly surprised and fascinated at the twists and turns, and the writing is sharp and clever.
