Miss Melinda Pink, renowned mystery
writer, arrives at the sleepy Scottish
village of Sgoradale, determined to
finish her latest book amidst small-
town peace and quiet. But she soon
discovers that what the villagers
consider their singular "discretion"
actually masks the most sinister
happenings. There are anonymous
letters, hints of blackmail. A cottage
burns to the ground in the middle of
the woods. A self-proclaimed spy--a
marked man or, as the villagers insist,
an eccentric local who "tells lies"?--
vanishes shortly after the disappear-
ance of his wife and children. To the
alarm of Sgoradale s respected inhab-
itants, Miss Pink insists that a sinister
form of decadence resides in the
village. And finally, a murder in this
"quiet" Iochside retreat proves that
Miss Pink s redoubtable intuition has
definitely not gone awry. In fact, she s
seen snares in use before, and is well
aware that in capable hands--and
given a sharp twist--a snare can be
turned into a noose
In Snare, Gwen Moffat has painted a
dazzling and gripping portrait of the
evil that can dwell behind the most
respectable facade. It has already
received praise in England as "a tall
tale, expertly told " (Sunday Times)
and "a first-rate mystery that is impos-
sible to pre-guess" (Bloodhound).
