Negative Positive
Title: negative five
Review: This is the kind of novel that gives the genre of women's fiction a bad name. Like Selina, one of the main characters, the book is shallow and manipulative. The so-called mystery upon which the plot depends has a solution that's obvious from the beginning. Most of the book is taken up with descriptions of houses and the antics of an over-sized dog. And the author's view of human beings is sit-com superficial, with all the enforced happy endings that such a view demands.The publisher wants you to believe that Willett is the equal of Maeve Binchy and Rosamund Pilcher. That's just not true. Skip this one and re-read The Shell Seekers instead.
