Book Overview
Like a ghost or a fugitive, Mary roams through London - pursuing and pursued by memory and forgetting, by the compelling Amy Hide and the charming Mr Wrong... Martin Amis sustains an unnervingly high degree of suspense as Mary and the reader yearn to grasp what has happened to Mary's past and ponder what its loss has gained her. Unfolding is a metaphysical thriller where jealousy guarded secrets jostle with startling insights. Other People is ambitious and accomplished, heralding for Amis an unexpected new direction as a novelist and for the rest of us an experience not to be missed.

I found this book disappointing
Published by Gwen , 2 years ago
I have before enjoyed Margaret Truman's books very much but not this one. It dragged on and on. Finally, the end came and I was appalled by the solution to the crime.
A Wonderful Adventure at the White House

Margaret Truman has done it again ! This work is set at our nation's most secure home, the White House. Yet a murder happens within the secure walls and the Secret Sevice is out of the loop in trying to solve the mystery. The reader is taken on a clever journey of suspects and situations, each one which seems likely to lead to the solution of the crime. However a first family secret unknown to but a very few of the characters plays a major part in solving the crime. Without saying more, this story is one a reader will not want to put down until reaching the last few pages where the startling conclusion is revealed.

I picked up this book and did not put it down, I finished it in a little over a week. It is set in Washington and really describes DC and is a classic old fashioned murder mystery. It is very suspenseful and keeps the reader interested. READ IT!! It is really good.
