'A dark, rich brew of malice and murder . secrets are deep, motives masked.' Patricia Rolfe, The Bulletin 'An atmosphere of tantalizing, overpowering menace . The tradition of the English whodunit has passed into the safe hands and dangerous imagination of Minette Walters.' The Times Mean, bitter Mathilda Gillespie has been dead for days-wrists slashed, pills spilled, body cold in the bath. Her death shouts suicide, but would even Mathilda have been crazy enough to force over her own head a rusted metal cage grotesquely laced with nettles and daisies? In her third brilliant psychological thriller, Minette Walters takes us on a compelling and unpredictable tour of the tensions between generations, and along a trail of grief made obscure by the mysterious loss of Mathilda's detailed, shocking and very personal diaries. Minette Walters has established herself as one of crime fiction's pre-eminent writers. Made into a major BBC TV series starring Miranda Richardson, The Scold's Bridle was screened in Australia.
