I haven't enjoyed a mystery novel so much for a long time. I agree with all the reviews on the cover: "clever and carefully constructed plot"; "filled with unexpected insights"; "a first-rate creator of memorable characters" . . . yes, all this and much more makes Still Life, set in rural Canada, a book that leaves you in a happy state of mind - despite the fact that the well loved and main character has been found dead.
