Title: Terrible
Review: I had never read one of Ruth Rendell's works before, and based on this one, I probably never will again. I thought her book was infinitely boring, the plot developed so slowly it was like watching paint dry. In addition the characters were two-dimensional, and Rendell's (too) many plot lines were disjointed, the abduction of the two girls having absolutely nothing to do with her main theme of domestic abuse. The only reason I kept reading was that I expected it, or hoped that it would get better. Needless to say I was sorely disappointed.
