Title: A sad, heavy book with no ending
Review: I can't remember the last time I read a book whose main character I disliked more than I disliked Beth. I couldn't quite decide if her emotional paralysis was caused by the loss of her child - one of three who saw little affection from her - or by her "poor me" syndrome. I was compelled to read on because I really wanted to know what happened to Ben, but when I found out, I felt cheated. Oh yeah, right. This was totally missed by the police for nine years. And the second red shoe - a little much. Now about that ending? Um, did the author forget to write it, or did she get bored with this book, too? All in all, an unsatisfying, unsettling book
