Description
When a woman's decomposed body is found in the aging barn of Oxford don Bridget Bennett's estate, Loretta knows her friend Bridget's shock is genuine. Unfortunately, the local constabulary are not so sure. And the tabloid press has a field day.
But when the police try to identify the dead woman and any possible connection to Bridget and her devoted husband, only Bridget seems alarmed at what might surface. Loretta tries to piece the puzzle together herself-with little success. Until a police blunder illuminates a dire suspicion she had all along....
"Here is crime fiction displaying its flexibility: working on disparate levels and contriving to be at once mysterious, entertaining and stimulating." - The Guardian

Reviews
-
What Men Say is an intelligent novel, beautifully written, and full of good characters and smart dialogue. If this is your first outing with Smith, it won't be your last.
The Globe and Mail

This sense of ordinary lives caught up in tragedy gives the story its urgency, while a beady-eyed humour and a flair for dialogue bring it real panache...a ripping good read.
