When a young woman dies during a shooting party at the country estate of a dissolute count, a magistrate is called upon to investigate. The mystery deepens and suspicion falls more widely as it emerges that the dead woman was at the centre of a tangled web of relationships: with her elderly husband, with the lecherous count, and with the magistrate himself...
'She writes like an angel and thinks like the devil. Joughin is a major discovery'
—— Fay Weldon'An exciting new talent'
—— Sunday Telegraph'Sheena Joughin has an unusual clarity of voice and a crafty duality, something both brooding and light, in her writing. The hurts and nastinesses between her characters are paralleled with a casual persistence of good nature and good humour in this funny, piercing book about lostness, childishness and growing up'
—— Ali Smith , The Times Literary Supplement'Very funny, very edgy, very acute. I love this book'
—— Julie Burchill'[Joughin] is already a mistress of mordant comedy... a talent to watch'
—— Daily Mail'Joughin has a merciless eye for unflattering detail and for the insecurities of both sexes ... extremely funny'
—— Daily Telegraph
