I've read all the other Barbara Vines,liked some of them very much, found others less enjoyable. This one I gave up on halfway through, just because it seemed too "programmatic" and predictable. Not having finished I'll never know whether I was right. But the seeming inevitable tragedy of the story-wthin-the-story didn't seem to be accompanied by anything else that struck me as entertaining or interesting.
