Fearful Symmetry Résumé

Fearful Symmetry Morag Joss

Exhausted after a gruelling world tour, international cellist Sara Selkirk is looking foward to a few months' recuperation at her picturesque cottage near Bath. But her growing attraction to the music-loving DCI Andrew Poole causes her to make the mistake of joining an amateur operatics society. The Circus Opera Group is a motley crew: There's faded diva Helene and her autistic daughter Adele; vain, talentless composer Cosmo and his long-suffering girlfriend, Poppy. Not to mention Andrew's wife, who's beginning to grow suspicious. With this uneasy mix and clash of fragile egos, both Sara and Andrew predict trouble ahead. What they don't expect to encounter is sudden, violent death.

Fearful Symmetry Avis

'FEARFUL SYMMETRY makes the elegant city of Bath a venue for fear and suspicion. A mesmerising psychological thriller set in beautiful surroundings, it suggests that Joss is the most persuasive chronicler of the city perhaps best known to some as Jane Austen's stamping ground.' -- The Times 'Morag Joss writes razor sharp wry observation.' -- Bath Chronicle In her second novel, Morag Joss returns to kill off more characters amidst the apricot stone and graceful crescents of Georgian Bath, and as a resident of that city, I can tell you it has never been chronicled with such scalpel-sharp wit. Except by Jane Austen, of course ... FEARFUL SYMMETRY is in the finest tradition of British whodunnits - constructed with page-turning skill, witty and touching in equal measure, and displaying the crucial awareness that corruption looks innocent and lives next door.' -- Bel Mooney 'A new and exciting talent in British crime writing' -- P D JAMES 'The skilful plotting, strong sense of place and colourful but credible characters would alone mark this book out. What makes it not only convincing crime writing but also a fine novel is its lively sense of social comedy and sharp wit' -- Good Book Guide 'Well written and well plotted, with a good Bath background' -- Evening Stansard
