When Garrison Reed's best friend is found dead, wound up in a fishing net attached to a sailboat, the whole town tries to pin it on him.
So he retreats to his forest cottage where he and his wife live and tells her about it. From there, several strange things start happening, such as people lurking around their cottage, police officers dying, and other things. While all of this is happening, Garr thinks back to memories he and his friend shared.
The characters are flawed and believable, as usual.
Dickson seems to have established himself a distinctive writing style and plot execution like no other author. The answer to the mystery is unexpected and highly original.
I think mystery is a genre Athol should settle down on.
4 stars
