Category Name : Fiction
Author Name : A Quiet Belief in Angels
Publisher Name : Where to start. First the positive. It's a page turner, at times gripping, emotive and enthralling. I raced through it to find out how it would end. Now the bad, by turns it had me in tears of emotion and others tears of laughter at the cliched, stereotypical and clunky characterisation. At the beginning it reminded me of the great Cormac McCarthy but later more a Mills and Boon bodice ripper! Being seduced and taken to bed by his teacher, who then becomes his lover. PLEASE! I could almost hear Bobby Goldsboro singing "Summer" The First Time! I have to agree with another reviewer, that the killer was obvious about 200 pages before "Joseph Calvin Vaughan" worked it out. Also the central core of the book, the child killings, is nonsense. The killing of all these children even in the 1950's would have been a huge national and international story. To suggest that no-one outside these small towns would have heard of them is just ludicrous. The FBI, national guard, and CIA! would have been mobilised to find the killer. But hey, it's just a book right and it got me hooked to the end, which I suppose is the point.
Minimum Price : £ 4.30
