Appalling
This book is so very PATHETIC, what was P. Macdonald thinking. The main character Laura Reed Turner, is not a real woman or mother at all. Who remarries just months after her husband is brutally murdered in their bed (unless Guilty). Pleaseeee... I am adamant when reading any book to finish it, I read this because it is an easy read, ooohhhh how I very much wanted to toss it.
............ What mother would care about some obsessed freak show (Ian, who by the way they never concluded his involvement with his own house fire) while her child she claimes to love and care for so much is being held at gun point by a mad moman. This book and character is beyond pathetic and P.M. should write about a real woman with strength and a mind of her own. Laure should have been arrested by the thought police, for the inability to have a her own thoughts, not act like such a martyr (which she is not). Lauras is not a character who deserves any sympathy, her weak pathetic nature is appalling, her character is severely lacking in the caring mother department. I recommend this book to No One...
