It's the start of Storm Front. It's a cracking opening chapter.

Indeed :)

I read it in 2016 and started re-reading it yesterday after all the UF conversation on the TDIR thread.

Finished MSTSK yesterday, such a quick read! I really enjoyed it, very disturbing humour and seriously twisted. I've now started an Australian crime novel - Force of Nature so I'm globe-trotting in my reading :-)

Back in time to the 19th century. Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone.

I think I tried to read it when in my teens, but abandoned it.

The introduction to the book says it may be the precipitating cause of English speakers' love for detective novels.

I also read The Woman in White fairly recently.
