denouement

There is hope here and across the region that there may soon be a denouement to the war.

An intriguing denouement confirms that readers of icons from Charles Dickens to Anne Perry can do no better than spending time with Charles Lenox, his family and ever-widening circle of friends.

Surely, you think, when we get to the denouement, Anderson will put a few words on the screen letting us know if everyone is OK.

Weren't your deficiencies up front - and pretty much everywhere else - evident for months before your denouement with Brugge and the brutality of what followed?

A stray orange cat; a séance in a hostel; a “nearsighted galoot” who decodes cryptic messages from Radio Pyongyang; flashlights that aren’t just flashlights — these bread crumbs guide us to the novel’s denouement.
