The Drowning People Zusammenfassung

The Drowning People Richard Mason

A truly thrilling murder mystery set partly in Cornwall, in the tradition of Du Maurier's REBECCA: dark, English and very much a classic.

At 21, James Farrell has the world at his feet. A gifted violinist, his successful career seems assured. Until a chance encounter with Ella changes everything. Ella, bewitching, irresistible, haunted by the ghosts of her family's past - James cannot help falling in love with her, and she with him. But as the power and dangerous fragility of their relationship overwhelm them, James can only watch helplessly as the most beautiful thing in his life is strangled by deception, betrayal and ultimately murder ...

The Drowning People Bewertungen

`Assured, well-paced and ambitious ... the writing is a delight. An exceptional achievement. * GUARDIAN (1999) *
`Redolent of early Evelyn Waugh... Mason already displays narrative drive, verbal skill and technical mastery. * DAILY EXPRESS (1999) *
`One of the most talked about first novels of 1999. If you want to be au courant with modern fiction, you will need to read it...' * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH (1999) *
`A very impressive first novel ... the story immediately hooks you until the end' * THE TIMES (1999) *
An absolutely fantastic story: a cast of weird and wonderful characters, tangled love, secrets and deceits, deaths, and altogether a hugely inventive plot with a twist to beat all twists at the very 11th hour. * OXFORD TIMES *
