Title: Disappointing
Product review: Halfway through I realized the only reason I was continuing to read was to discover what happens to Mr. Harvey, the murderer. So I flipped over to the ending, scanned it and put the book away.The prose was lovely if a little tiring at times, and too many scenes were unbelieveable and even disturbing. A girl in heaven watching her mother's adultery? A camp counselor assigning the theme "how to commit a perfect murder" as a project (in theory, mind you) for junior high kids? A mother, already having had one child murdered, leaves her small boy in a mall play area to meet with her lover?I had treated myself to a stack of books for my birthday -- wish I had my money back for this one.
