Summary: Best suspense thriller ever...EVER!
Comment: I found this book by chance at a second hand book sale while on summer holiday about three years ago. The edition was printed in 1975 and by now (after reading over and over) looks rather shabby.
I had never heard of the author before and was merely looking for something to pass the time. It didn't pass much time, because once I started reading I couldn't put it down, and only took me one day to finish.
Joel Townsley Rogers puts you, neé, throws you right in the middle of a first-person account of this murder mystery that unfolds in one day. The story and subsequent mystery slowly unravels as he takes you back in time, revealing the characters and the events leading up to the day in which the story is told.
You start guessing and wondering, painting your own mental images of the characters and surroundings desribed with meticulous attention detail.
There are clues throughout the book, and careful reading is required. Read it again and again, and more clues are revealed.
As far as endings to any book are concerned, they're pretty imprtant, so I won't divulge any details. I will say this though...be prepared!
This is whodunnit to the very end, and even though the ending has never changed in the 7 times that I've read it...I'm reading it again for the 8th time right now.
Enjoy and share

Summary: Complete Agreement
Comment: I can only agree with the other reviewers. I bought this book new in a local bookstore after picking it up and reading the introduction and a few paragraphs. I've never read another book quite like it. This book really stands on its own and unlike many others I believe that the sobriquet 'classic' truly applies to this novel. Buy it!!!

Summary: A surreal murder mystery; gripping from start to finish
Comment: A classic, in medias res mystery, in which no one is innocent until the end; scene after terrific scene leads you to an end that will knock your socks off. If you've ever lived in CT (as I have) you will recognize and respond to this book. The smell of roses and fresh earth -- !!!!!
