Title: No whiz, no fizz.
Review: The prose in this novel is undeniably Olympian-somewhat on the order of Ruth Rendell on her best days. There perhaps, as they say, lies the rub. The plot is indeed exceedingly thin and it takes forever to wander to its ill-fated and unsurprising conclusion. If there had been even slightly more genuine creepiness (as opposed to merely dark and watery imagery) or plot intrigue, I would have felt justified frittering away the hours it took to consume this book. As it was, I just wanted it to be over long before it, unfortunately, was.
