| Zusammenfassung: | Michael Dibdin has been praised as the best and most inventive of the new generation of British crime writers. ("Dibdin has a gift for shocking the unshockable reader," says Ruth Rendell.) Now, with The Dying of the Light, he gives us his most unconventional and riveting novel to date We open on a familiar scene: the lounge of Eventide Lodge, a typical English country hotel inhabited by the usual cast of English characters. There is the retired colonel installed in his chair near the fireplace, poring over the newspaper; the wealthy invalid swathed in sweaters and blankets, playing game after game of solitaire; the secretive financier, never too far from the telephone; the elegant and icy Lady, whiling her time away at the piano; the clergyman, nodding over a book And there are Rosemary and Dorothy: inseparable, longtime residents of the Lodge, would-be Misses Marple, who busy themselves solving the murder mystery they've spun around the days and nights of their fellow lodgers |
