Has anyone read The Fig Eater?

It was a random book that I picked up several months ago. I finally got around to reading it - I liked it (didn't love it) - but I have a question about the scene of the murder...Has anyone has read it???

I have. It's been a little while so I may not be able to help yo, but I'll try.

I thought it was okay, but it got tedious in places.

jacaranda hooray someone else read this book! I agree that the book was a bit slow at times and somewhat odd toward the end. The question I have relates to the murder scene: Do you remember what was under the rag/towel next to the murder victim? I don't understand why the person, who turned out to be the murderer, would have done that. I hope you can follow what I'm asking. On the off chance that someone else wants to read the book, I don't want to give too much away. Maybe I should just pm you...:)
