I took this book on holiday with me (along with two small boys so please factor in that I read it whilst exhausted), but I have to say the only reason I didn't give up on it was in order to write this review.
I didn't find a single character that was in any way appealing or believable and for most of the book the development of the plot was soooo slooow that I found it simply boring. The sex scenes were crude and implausable and as for the rest - sorry, I just couldn't believe in Anne or her supposed actions. Her 'mental illness', supposedly triggered by earlier events, just needed me to suspend too much in the way of belief and knowledge.
However, I do think that Janet Ellis may be one to watch in the future.
