Why read it?
1 author picked The Vault as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Vault is the sequel to A Sight for Sore Eyes. It is a police procedural with the detective trying to identify several dead bodies found in an abandoned coal cellar.

I recommend it because the reader has some fun: She knows the answers to all those questions from having read the first book. It’s a great twist on mystery-as-riddle whodunits.
From Nora's list on noir and psychological suspense by women.
