You can start with The belly of an architect , A zed and two noughts and The draughtman contract (watch my three reviews) . The crewness in his female characters ; in sucesive order ; grandmother , daughter and niece who decide murder his respective husbands according the numerical rhythm from one to one hundred is told with dazzling poetry , sugestive coldness, opressive atmosphere ...
