A Room Swept White: Culver Valley Crime Book 5 por Sophie Hannah
Quite a thought-provoking book with the emotive topic of cot-deaths behind the narrative. Fliss Benson,assistant to Laurie Natrass, has been asked by him to continue producing the TV programme he has master-minded on this topic when he leaves his job. Three women who were perhaps wrongly convicted of killing their babies have now been freed, and they are the subject of the programme. As Fliss continues to probe, her own tragedy begins to emerge. There are many strands to this story, many characters too. I didn't wholly beleive in any of them, nor were many of them in any way sympathetic. So whilst it was an interesting, even gripping story from time to time (what is the significance of those white cards with 16 numbers on each, distrubted to some of the characters in the book?), I don't feel moved to read any more of Hannah's books… (mais)
As this book went on I kept concocting my own increasingly wild theories about what might be happening but in the end none of them actually came close to the real answers.
I feel like I've been mis-sold goods here. Presented as a mystery, this introduces the author and assigns the reader the role of sidekick in the investigation of a mystery - the mystery of happiness. So far so intriguing. However from here it falls down hill rapidly an with one exception, stays unexceptional. The author chooses to give chapter after chapter containing conversations with life coaches 7 therapists - and I genuinely have no idea who was saying what, as it was all read in the same voice. So the conversation is received as a monologue which makes no sense as I can't tell who is voicing which opinion. The one interesting element was the idea of the 65 days, where you assign an item to do on each of 65 days in a year, that would bear expansion. The surmise of the mystery novel wrapping resurfaces at the end with a denouement and a twist, but it is too little too late to make this work as an investigation.
It could have done with a more thorough exploration of the philosophies of thought and happiness and less fan girl enthusiasm for an American life coach. If you're fan of self help, well it might appeal, if not, save yourself the time.… (mais)
