This is a powerful book about family the bitterness, hopelessness, and painful love that consumes all It begins with a forceful scenario that is directly related to the conclusion, then dips into a gentle story For those who do not know in any great depth about story construction, this opening scene can be a mite confusing However, Parsons mastery soon reveals itself as the story picks up pace and induces in the reader, increasing terror about the outcome It is a crime novel with a twist I will [...]

Well this is probably one of the most gloomy books I have read all year Nothing happy happens within this story it is all crime, murder, and generally all things in human nature that are horrid It really is depressing all the way through The story is average a tale of revenge I was bored for most of it and considered not finishing it However I managed to get to the end Not the best book I have read this year

Some plot twists were interesting but I agree with other reviews rather gloomy Ending not redeeming Rather cliche sadistic crazy bad guy that murders for no reason That said on positive note I was fine with how written I would not recommend to any of my friends.

With its story of a disturbed young man and a dysfunctional family with a secret we are in Ruth Rendell territory here However I guessed the twist in the tale pretty early on, whereas I don t think Ms Rendell would have been quite so obvious.

Jane

very dark book no likeable characters and I found the ending very strange I was glad when it was finished and I could move onto my next book

Heidi

A well written book, but the story stays a bit vague for a rather long time After that, I knew where it was going and the anticipation of it had me glued to the pages It s all a bit dark.
