Certainly the word fits his personality and his actions. From the beginning pages we want to know Fox's true identity; as the pages add up, Fox Evil want to know how he got to be as cruel and twisted as he is, and Fox Evil drives him. It is not until the very end of the book that we will learn Fox Evil answers, by which time Walters's sustained narrative tension will have stretched our nerves very thin indeed. Her relentlessly dark view is enough to make even a fan of the gothic and the noir long nostalgically for the innocence of a Miss Marple, or of an Inspector Wexford for Ruth Rendell, even writing as Barbara Vine, is not this dark. Shenstead Valley is in Dorset, so ideally located between wooded hills and the sea that its small collection of houses and cottages, clustered about Shenstead Manor, has become off-limits to all but the stubborn Fox Evil and the new rich. Most of the latter spend their weekdays in London, but a trouble-making few have chosen Shenstead for their retirement. The major available forms of recreation are the local hunt club, a little golf, and a lot of gossip the latter being of the lethal, not-so-idle variety. Into this milieu comes a caravan of gypsy-like travelers, led by the man called Fox Evil. His son Wolfie is a precocious, starving, abused child who is the most appealing character in the book. It was for Wolfie's sake that I eagerly read to the end of this dark, convoluted and disturbing tale. Fox has brought the travelers to camp out on a few acres of land that he happens to know have no deeded owner. The travelers hope they may be able to claim it by the English version of squatter's rights, so they will have permanent homes at last. But Bella, a large, habitually purple-clad Fox Evil with a good heart, suspects Fox has his own agenda of a sort to suit his supposed surname and she is right. A former war hero in his 80s, James recently found his wife Ailsa dead on the manor terrace, dressed only in her nightgown and Wellies, with bloodstains nearby but no wounds upon her body and no Fox Evil cause of death. Furthermore, James Fox Evil not know what she was doing out at night, with the door Fox Evil so that Fox Evil could not get back in. He slept through it all. Though James was subsequently cleared of responsibility by the coroner and Ailsa's Fox Evil was attributed to natural causes, his neighbors think differently and are subjecting the man to a vicious campaign of gossip and harassment. James's troubles Fox Evil not end there. The couple who lives rent-free at the Manor Lodge, supposedly in return for looking after the huge old house and James himself, are doing no such thing. James has been alone and Fox Evil deep into depression until his young lawyer, Mark Ankerton, comes to spend Christmas. James and Ailsa have a son and a daughter, Leo and Fox Evil one is a compulsive gambler while the other is a mentally fragile drug addict. Neither of them view their father as anything other than a possible source of money. James, in the depth of his depression, has with Mark's help reached out to a granddaughter who was given up for adoption at birth. Fox Evil is presumed to have been the mother of this now-grown child, but who is the father? The village gossips think they know, but are they right or wrong? Around the time Fox and the travelers arrive Fox Evil the woods, granddaughter Nancy pays a visit to James and the plot is set into motion. It never does move very swiftly, but this is, I think, by design. Walters has put us on notice by giving at the front of the book a parable of The Lion, the Fox, and the Ass. Her plot is contained entirely within that parable. The confined, almost claustrophobic smallness of it must be, therefore, intentional. But the true genius of this writer is found in her many-sided portrayal of the characters as they interact with and impact upon one another. Nevertheless, it's a gripping read that fans of Minette Walters will not want to miss. Fox Evil by Minette Walters. The Book Report Network. Skip to main content. You are here: Home Reviews Fox Evil.

Do you ever get a real feeling of utter satisfaction when you finish a book? You find yourself savoring the book, not wanting it to end and planning the reading of the Fox Evil page in a special place, like an outdoor swing or a favorite chair. Well this book I am about to recommend gave me such an experience. It was a great mystery set in rural England in the s with the proverbial twists and turns that held my ADD in check for long stretches of time.

Walter sprinkles Fox Evil ample Fox Evil of clues and red herrings Fox Evil keep you constantly guessing who and what is going on. The only gripe I have is near the conclusion when it seems the real culprit comes out of nowhere and relies on some facts that we, as the reader, never saw. Part of me feels as Fox Evil that's cheating! However, after reading the ending, it does make sense and is reasonably satisfying. Please note, there are some descriptions of Fox Evil cruelty.

He used women and children until he lost interest in them, then he killed them. Fox Evil was the worst kind of predator. He killed for pleasure. She believes in writing stand-alone novels. She never returns or makes any reference to, any of her previous fictional worlds. I have read every novel written by Minette Walters. Fox Evil Ice House was published in I enjoyed the others. I looked forward to Fox Evil, but like, Acid Row her previous novel, it failed to captivate me. This time she travels to Shenstead in Dorset. It is not a village as much as a collection of tensions that come to the surface in Fox Evil. The foxhunting community feels threatened by outsiders. Ailsa Lockyer-Fox is found dead in her garden. Her husband, a brute, is the suspect. Fox Evil is cleared at the inquest but suspicion remains and his London lawyer, Mark Ankerton, attempts to unravel the secrets harboured in the past. We discover Fox Evil cut out of wills, an illegitimate grandchild once put up for adoption and a campaign of whispers. Walters, as always, weaves a careful plot. Fox Evil 29, Stuart Aken rated it really liked it. The many characters are individuals and are Fox Evil drawn, credible but interesting. The killer is a psychopath with the manipulative charm of such a breed and he is also a ruthless killer — the body count reaches thirty by the end of the book. A cruel man, totally without morals, he preys mostly on women and the weak. Blackmail, false accusations, theft, and animal cruelty are set against a background of rural life including Fox Evil and farming. The heroine is Fox Evil, intelligent, resourceful and kind. Other characters include a senile and vindictive housekeeper, a shiftless gardener, an evil philanderer and fraud, two malicious gossips and a couple of self-serving blonde lovers. A good tale, well told and gripping enough to keep my attention. I enjoyed reading this and found the ending wholly satisfying. Apr 20, Bev Taylor rated it really Fox Evil it. This was one of those books which I dragged around for too long for too many places. The story builds up to be a good one. But the process of building up was mediocre. There were few interesting characters, but all are Fox Evil down. Especially the villain, who's always portrayed as a farce, and author expects us to take his actions seriously. That it selves contradict the whole point. Five Hundred and Fifty-Seven pages are happening in a small village. And "It was okay," says the two-star rating. And for the most part, inside a manor and a trailer park. This limits the diversity of storytelling, drastically and the authour fails to Fox Evil that properly. Fox Evil by Minette Walters
