![]() ![]() It was well written and I am still intrigued by the mystery involved and wondering what happens. And the discard pile grows.Īnyway, I fully support the author to make whatever choices they want, but this one just wasn’t for me and my followers who look for more classic scenarios.Īdding an extra star for getting that far in the book and still enjoying it. ![]() No plot point reason for it that I could discern. Got all the way to page 174 and – yep, you guessed it – a character unnecessarily mentions his husband of 70 years. Also – a tuberculosis center – that’s just not something you hear about anymore – thank goodness!īut… red flag at page 7 where we see mention of a “serial killer preying on young boys.” Kept reading, though. Prior to that I was enjoying the suspense, the mystery, the spooky, Agatha Christie, Daphne DuMaurier, and Cornish coast-like setting. This one ended up on the discard pile at page 175. ![]() While I can’t ever prove that’s happened, sometimes I get that “feeling”, you know? While I support ever author to write whatever the heck they want, I do object to editors and publishers forcing various points of view into a book, simply to meet some arbitrary quota. I tend to read (for the most part – there are a few exceptions you may see in my GoodReads “Read” list) clean fiction embedded in traditional values. Another book landed in my ever-growing pile of books dumped for content. ![]()
