The story starts quite horrifically and builds a worryingly unpleasant setting for what follows. It's difficult to explain why I found what follows disappointing without giving away too many details of the plot. I guess I'd have to say that the details I would be giving away seemed sufficiently formulaic and the resolution of the whodunnit element enough of a cop-out that I only just made it to the end. I never quite believed in, or cared about, the characters beyond their role in carrying the plot along. I found some elements of the back-story more interesting than the main narrative itself and was sorry that they were only glimpsed. Hmmm. Pretty flat review that reflects my reading experience.
