The Metaphor...
The title of this amazing mystery novel is a play by play on the concept of the book itself .It begins in midst of the story when Ingrid joins the play of a famed tale called "Alice In Wonderland", a portion of story line in this tale involves a jittery White Rabbit who leads Alice down his rabbit hole into the land of wonderland. Thus Peter Abraham prepares a metaphor referring to this passage meaning that each time in the story when Ingrid became closer and closer to discovering who the culprit was she had instinctively gone deeper in her trip "down the rabbit hole".
