The Shape of Snakes - Minette Walters:
... of writing is normally fact filled and intense. In her previous novel, The Breaker, she relaxed the style a little and made the reading easier, but in doing so delivered a weaker plot. Here, in The Shape of Snakes, there is a return to intensity and detail, and I am more comfortable with Walters in this mood, even if it requires more concentration. The characterisation of Mrs Ranelagh is very well done. No doubt Min... Read the full review: Snakes in the past come back to haunt......... by pmcds |

The Breaker - Minette Walters ... found as well as him being placed near the mother's place of death. As the story develops, the husband's alibi grows weaker, and then there is the strange occurrence that every time he picks up his daughter, she screams......... My Opinion As far as Minette Walters' novels go, this plot is a little less complicated and intrinsic as her other efforts. This has positives and negatives about it. Negatively, the plot appears weaker and with less substance, but this also in turn works to the positive which is that it is an easier read in terms of word flow. Parents of young children will appreciate the sentiments and fellings that Walters gives her characters in this novel... Read the full review: Plots on the shoreline! by pmcds |

The Echo - Minette Walters ... writing an article about homelessness and becomes obsessed with the case, digging and delving, but what will he uncover, and what lengths will people go to to keep it covered? My Opinion The Echo is a very haunting novel, and another twisting and intricate plot from the author. Minette Walters' characterisation and tension created between her characters is top notch, and the writing style, although flowing, is packed with detail and plot surprises that mean you have to concentrate. Walters tackles homelessness very well, and creates a large element of sympathy for the subject at the same time as creating a feeling of disgustg towards the richer population, and the e...

The Scold's Bride - Nanette Walters ... was wearing a scold's bridle at the time of her suicide, a strange contraption obscuring the woman's face with nettles and Michaelmas daisies. The family and police chiefs are pushing for a verdict of suicide, and Detective Sergeant Cooper, nearing retirement, is assigned the case. But all is not as it seems, as Sarah and her husband Jack think this is anything but a suicide. Sgt Cooper finds himself in a quandry. My Opinion Minette Walters' first two novels were very good, and while this one carries forward much of the successful momentum of the first two, I found it much harder to read and less memorable than the first two. The writing is very good, but you do hav... Read the full review: Cover the face......... by pmcds |
