Title: NOT worth the wait
Product review: For years, I've been hoping for another book by Rennie Airth. "River of Darkness" made an indelible impression on me. Alas, this was not worth the wait (sorry, Amazon editorial reviewer). It's essentially just another serial killer outing, setting notwithstanding, with all the cliches of that tired genre. When the character who will obviously be the next victim is introduced, I groaned. I hoped for a twist or two, but no. A serious disappointment and inferior to at least 100 of the 211 other books I've read this year, including those by William Lashner, John Lawton, Jacqueline Winspear (author of another post-WWI series), Daniel Silva, and the ever-wonderful Donna Leon.
