Book Reviews of The Winds of Change
Book Review: A purloined child
Summary: 3 Stars
I would have to agree with a previous reviewer that the story wanders a bit. The basic plot is good, but the author has her usual habit of inserting extraneous material. While Richard Jury is working on the case he is sidetracked by the death of his cousin, and doubts about the memories of his youth. His rich friend, Melrose Plant, is brought into the case but contributes very little. There is a final digression into Long Piddleton that really has nothing to do with the case. Naming the goat, etc., might be interesting as a separate short story but has nothing to do with the present case.
The main plot about pedophilia and the missing child is very good, but it would have been better if the author would have left out some of the excess baggage that she is prone to adding into her novels. She has a fixation on Long Piddleton.
