Wish I could give this book a better review. Where other reviewers site White’s excellent ‘sense of place’ I found it redundant and excessive. It seemed to me its purpose was more of an attempt to bolster a weak story plot.
I found the heroine’s motives and challenges over worked. There wasn’t just one weak, (victim-type) woman in the story; they all seemed, to different degrees, victims. I kept waiting to see one stand up to their man and to what life had dealt out to them and kick some butt. Alas, it never happened.
I have enjoyed some of Karen White’s work but she is inconsistent. I was unable to finish the last few chapters of this story and that’s a rarity for me. Sorry, Karen.
