Title: Disappointing debut
Review: Once again I'm mystified by how a book I thought was barely readable could be short-listed for a literary award and receive glowing reviews from writers like Colin Dexter and Val McDermid. The story outline sounded so promising, yet the author got bogged down in page after page of uneven, jerky narrative, none of which moved the plot forward or made me feel that I knew any of the characters better. It was like wading through treacle. In the end I was so bored and frustrated that I looked at the ending, just to get it over with. Some of the descriptive writing was good - the occasional phrase or sentence even memorable - but for me, the action never really got going, I didn't care about any of the characters and there was no feeling of tension or suspense. A very unexciting read.
