Negative Positive
Title: Ouch. A disappointment.
Review: Fiona Walker has always been a wonderful, funny read, with sympathetic and believable characters. This book is an unfortunate exception--with an overly convoluted and contrived plot involving a murder that may or may not have happened, a bunch of ghosts that may or may not exist, arson (or is it) culminating in what seems to be a completely pointless death-defying midnight point to point race. Her characters have always seemed clueless in their relationships, but in this one they seem almost bizarrely so--affairs flare up, everyone declares undying love, and then it's over in six pages. Long-lost lovers reunite and squabble, reunite and squabble, over and over again until I really couldn't have cared less how it all turned out.Fiona has always been on my list of indulgent pleasures, but this one is not in her usual league.
