The Interpretations

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £2.12
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The police believe that Tom Kingsmill killed himself by jumping off a bridge but Mike Delvan is convinced he is still alive. To solve this mystery Mike will not only have to excavate the past but examine the fears, prejudices, and secrets of the people of his hometown, Dalmore. This carefully paced, illuminating novel explores, with sensitivity and humor, the complexity of life in a small town where everyone knows everyone else and where affection and friendship stray towards separation, deception, and loss. "A tautly written contemporary novel that clearly documents Mackenzie as an especially skilled author able to craft memorable characters and embed them into a riveting story."--The Midwest Book Review September 2013 "MacKenzie's chilling debut is as much a novel of a small town struggling to retain its identity in rapidly changing times as it is a murder mystery."--Publishers Weekly Sept. 30, 2013
