Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of A Child's Book of True Crime

Book Review: Excellent crime novel
Summary: 4 Stars

Though I thought this book was extremely well written and cleverly constructed, I did find the end rather a disappointment. Agreeably, this isn't a commercial whodunnit so I wasn't expecting a Scream-style ending but even so, the pace slowly meanders into an anti-climax as reality asserts. I realise this is the point as the novel is more an exploration of Kate's character and mental state but even so... I was left feeling disappointed. A 'reality' ending may be more convincing but I also felt it was rather lame. All the same, I did enjoy this book and I would still recommend it to everyone. It's highly original and thoughtful and worth reading, even if the end disappoints.
