<p>Virginia Winters' third novel in her "Anne" trilogy is a real thriller. So vividly has the novelist conjured up the villain of the piece that, long after finishing the novel, I am unable to erase the ruthless Blanc from my memory. The heroine, Canadian doctor Anne McPhail, appears for the third time (she is also the main character in the first two novels of the trilogy), this time as a somewhat hapless visitor to Bermuda. All she wanted to do was to visit her sister, who lives on the island. Once again the novel opens with Anne stumbling across a corpse, but this time she is suspected of being the murderer. Never was Bermuda so sinister, and surely never has the tiny island experienced so many exciting chases. It's a novel with murky international connections to the arms trade, and you have to read to the end to figure out who's doing what to whom. I am beginning to think of Virginia Winters as Canada's very own Ian Rankin, the Scottish novelist whose Inspector Rebus skulks through the dark alleys and damp streets of Edinburgh in search of clues and murderers. Don't fail to read No Motive for Murder.<br /> by R.B Fleming, author of <em>Peter Gzowski: A Biography</em></p>
