I've got it on my shelf and I usually like Nicci French - looks like it may gather dust!

I have it in my pile of 'to read' books!

I love Nicci French books, my favourite airport reading

the end twist on this one is very very good it really is, keep watching

Reindior · 12/12/2005 23:25

My favourite one was the one which was later made into a film with Joseph Fiennes.

the tv review on the ending said it was ridiculous so how true to the book it is we'll see. I'll probably still read it though - like I say Nicci French is usually a good read.

So, in the book does she say anything to her family, or stay mute about it all?!

Kaysleighbells · 12/12/2005 23:34

Read the book and thought it was very good. Not Nicci French's best, but still a good read. I find the TV adaptation of (ggod) thrillers are pants so tend not to watch them.

Kaysleighbells · 12/12/2005 23:34

er that should say "good"

yoyo · 12/12/2005 23:40

And is this a good example for Dr Who?

sevensuzyswongsaswimming · 12/12/2005 23:56

the latest NF Land of the Living is good too. That would adapt well.

Am I right in thinking Nicci French is actually a two person collaborative effort?

Reindior · 12/12/2005 23:57

Yes SW, you are right.

sevensuzyswongsaswimming · 12/12/2005 23:58

I'm always right

RTKangaSantaMummy · 12/12/2005 23:58

Did you read what was written on the plaque at the very very beginning

That gives the answer, I think

Reindior · 12/12/2005 23:59

No, what was written? I missed the beginning.

RTKangaSantaMummy · 13/12/2005 00:02

What hapenned a year later iyswim

As this one was a year earlier iyswim

and it said her name on a plaque at a crematorium and they were looking at it.

Reindior · 13/12/2005 00:03

Ah, but is she REALLY dead?

Reindior · 13/12/2005 00:03

They don't usually kill off the main characters.

Nicci French is a husband and wife team Nicci Gerrard and Sean French

the really big
I told you so but no one believed me
and now its too late...
It was a bloody good read, I had to change channels - Miranda is not plausible, not tbh is Brendan.

harpsiheraldangelssing · 13/12/2005 09:50

only watcvhed it cos it had David Tennant in it
had his clothes on too much, imho

yoyo · 13/12/2005 09:52

Does anyone who has read the book fancy doing a spoiler as I can't be bothered to sit through it tonight. Did you notice how much wine they all drank? Is this supposed to indicate middle-classdom?
