Negative Positive
Title: Very Weak
Review: Carlyle's last few novels have been rather disappointing in comparison to her first works. This last one is a perfect example. Very little character interaction, no suspense and, honestly, no story.When one reads her novels concerning Cole and Jonet, Elliot and Evangeline or Helene and Treyherne, their complex relationships that build and the danger/mystery in which they are involved, well, Giles and Aubrey's relationship is both unbelievable and boring. There is no suspense in any part of story, whether it be the relationship, who Aubrey is or the "mysterious" death. It's all obvious.The only interesting characters and aspects of the novel involve the uncle, the Delacourts, Kem and Max, and they appear too briefly. My advice is not to purchase this one new.
