Okay, if one can overcome one's vast anger about being mislead so terribly one can most probably see what a good book it is.

Raymond Chandler wrote in one of his essays about detective stories that the detective should never know more than the reader, that the reader should have all the information that the detective has. So, in this sense it's not unfair what she's done but I felt deceived nevertheless.
