"Jonathan was standing by the car listening to the radio through the open window (...) A commentator talked about a forthcoming enquiry into events surrounding the mysterious death of the Iraqi arms expert Dr David Kelly.
'Campbell and Blair to give evidence to Hutton Enquiry ... Government stands accused ...'
To Jonathan, still as skeptical as he'd been in February (...) there where no absolute truths. Only half-truths and interpretations that begged to be spun by anyone strong enough - or determined enough - to force his opinions on everyone else. It was single-minded zealots who ruled the world - politicians, religious leaders, terrorists, media and business moguls - and most of them were to arrogant or stupid to see that their beliefs were flawed."

Minette Walters "Disordered Minds"("Ett förvridet sinne" på svenska) slutar rätt ovanligt för att vara en deckare - en genre som ju normalt är fixerad vid att i slutkapitlet reda ut alla oklarheter, i minsta detalj.

Disordered Minds är inte Walters bästa bok; inte i klass med "The Sculptress" ("Skulptrisen") eller "The shape of snakes" ("Ormars skepnad"). Men eftersom hon förlagt tiden för handlingen till våren och sommaren 2003, med korrekta referenser till det verkliga Irakkriget, ger slutklämmen en något mer att tänka på, än bara frågan om "who did it". Vem kan man egentligen lita på?
