Review title: Deep end of the ocean redux ???
Product review: This book had so many references to smoking in it I had a sore throat when I finished it. The author did not know how to transition her work without a reference to cigarettes. 'She ground out her cigarette, she lit a cigarette, she offered one to her 13 year old sister....smoke, smoke,smoke. This also happened in Deep End of the Ocean, a similar tale of kidnap and return. First of all, most upper class people have eschewed the tobacco habit in recent years, so it made no sense, second it distracted as it made the characters one dimensional and showed no sense of transition without the references. Did she get paid by the tobacco companies for this book ? Premise was good, execution was painful.
