Maurice Seton was a famous mystery writer—but no murder he ever invented was more grisly than his own death. When his corpse is found in a drifting dinghy with both hands chopped off at the wrists, ripples of horror spread among his bizarre circle of friends. Now it’s up to brilliant Scotland Yard inspector, Adam Dalgliesh, and his extraordinary aunt to uncover the shocking truth behind the writer’s death sentence, before the plot takes another murderous turn.

I didn't love this one. The plot hung together thinly and it didn't feel like fair play to the reader in the end. Still, the setting and the writing made up for much. Like the previous novels, I had trouble with how bitter and unkind the author is with her characters. None of them look well on each other, which to me doesn't seem realistic. After all, in real life some people actually like each other. But overall, it was entertaining reading, if not my favorite mystery novel.
