Review title: Leave it on the shelf
Product review: I have to agree with the one and two star reviews. I have read all of HC's books and loved every one of them. This book is a shameful soap opera and it is poorly written. It is easy to see why it went out of print. Maybe he wrote it in college when he was just learning to write. I don't know what happened to HC after this book that he produced so many great characters and stories, but this one is terrible. The title is a givaway to start with even if you didn't guess the plot line after that. The rest is so similar to a bad soap opera: this one slept with that one's husband and then the other had that one's baby and then one of them shot the other to protect the family secret...and on and on. And there are extremely annoying italicized parts all through the book that are the character's thoughts. Ugh. I couldn't even read the whole thing. I skipped to the end to see what the big twist was...lame. So glad I got it out of the library.
