Daniel and Anne-Marie’s marriage isn’t just on the rocks, it’s about to go six feet under. Anne-Marie Mills is out of work, out of love and out of whisky. Everyone else is out of patience. When Anne-Marie is found dead who is to blame? The neighbours who despised her drunken rants? The husband who wondered how much more he could take? Or is there another killer in the neighbourhood?
This is the worst book I’ve read in a long time!
Not the greatest read.Depressing.
Unusual! Not a real favor but will try this author again
Very long winded. Quit reading half way through.
I put it down, peeked at the ending, probably a good story, but I was turned off by the “stream of consciousness ” writing style. Too grim for me
Di not finish, Lost interest
I enjoyed this book! It was not intellectually challenging but it was entertaining and kept my attention. I enjoyed the author’s use of changing the viewpoint via chapter breaks, because that enabled me to keep up with who was saying/thinking what. The storyline was very believable and I liked how it was REAL. I could totally see this middle class neighborhood residents’ lives being exactly how they were described. Nothing was overblown and no knights in shining armor rained miracles down from heaven at the last minute. Rather, the author allowed the characters to tell the story, even to each other. And I even enjoyed the slightly whimsical ending (while still maintaining the brutal reality) that I must admit evoked a tear. I would definitely read more from this author!
I really did not enjoy reading this book, but curious enough to finish it. There was not a single likable character. I stared to click “TRAGIC” above, but it really wasn’t
any or all of the characters could have died and I really wouldn’t have cared, although if they had, then it could qualify as tragic. The writing was fine – just not my cup of tea.
Very good…I will follow this author…
Boring. I did not finish it.
I didn’t care for this book. Took a long time to reLly say nothing
Am not enjoying this book.
Very good read right up to the end.
Good story, didn’t like it being narrated.
This author really brings the characters to life. Very interesting read. I would recommend.
