Review title: Rainy Days make for a Dreary Read
Product review: I usually can't put a Ruth Rendall novel down once I start it but it was not the case here. The beginning of the novel starts out with a strange religious ritual of some type leaving you wondering what is about to occur. It isn't until much later that you discover the purpose of it which I found very confusing. I also didn't like the side story about Inspector Wexford's daughter which seemed to be a filler since the story was so weak about the missing baby sitter and the two children she was watching who suddenly disappear without a trace. Also, the constant rain and flooding was a strange backdrop which again seemed like words to fill up the pages without a real purpose to the story.As always, her characters are always very unusual with some type of dark background. This was the only strong part to me. The babysitter and her cougarish ways was the most interesting part of the story. Overall, I recommend staying away from the book. YOu will be disappointed.
