And I´m back again disliking Fen. At this point I would say he has some sort of personality disorder.
Honestly, this book is bugging me. It´s incredibly sexist (essentially the victim deserved to die because she has used her sex to get what she wants), the mystery isn´t a compelling one and I´m bored by the rather one-dimensional characters in this book.
Tigus and MbD both told me that they enjoyed later books in the Gervase Fen series. So this might be just the one that isn´t worth the read and could easily be skipped.
