 ... mystery becomes more complex Naomi is forced to revisit a horrific event in her past in her quest to make the police listen. But how far will she go to find Robert?. ~Style~ The narrative mode changes frequently from first person, as Naomi tells her story, to third person as we witness the actions of the police, particularly of Charlie Zailer . The distinction is also shown in the style of writing which is much more emotive and less logical when in the perspective of Naomi. There is occasionally a glimpse into the m...more

Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah I bought this book at my local Tesco on a buy two for £7.00 deal and it was well worth it. I’m an avid reader and have read about 12 books this month of all different types. I tend to pick books by reading the back cover and then the first page and if it grips me immediately then I can’t leave it behind. The back of this book says “Three years ago, something terrible happened to Naomi Jenkins – so terrible she never told anyone” and the first page is an email she has written to a website called “Speak out and Survive”; you know then from the first page what Naomi’s secret is, she’s been raped. No I’m not ...  Read the complete review

Hurting distance is a book I bought from Amazon because of the reviews on here, and it seemed like my kind of book. It has rape, murder, mystery and two women whom it appears do not know the meaning of truth...which led me to believe that it would be a fairly gripping book...yes, I have a morbid taste in books. I have to admit, I was rather disappointed. ===Boring Stuff=== Title: Hurting Distance Author: Sophie Hannah Price: RRP £6.99, Amazon £1.50 at time of writing. ISBN: 978-0-340-84034-4 Publisher: Hodder ===Basic story=== Naomi Jenkins is one of the main characters and much of the story is told through her eyes, ...  Read the complete review

Naomi is terrified that something is amiss especially as the police seem unwilling to help. She has to convince DS Charlie Zailer and DC Simon Waterhouse that something has happened to her lover.

Premium Review a compelling tale that goes deep into the psyche (669 words)
by - written on 15/12/08 (Very useful, 76 readings)
Rating:

This is an excellent novel: well plotted, engaging, disturbing and convincing. The 'secret' mentioned in the blurb is revealed in the email printed before the start of the first chapter and is key to the novel, but not in the way you would expect. Naomi Jenkins was raped three years ago but has decided that she is a survivor; she has told no one of her ordeal and has found herself a lover, albeit a married man. The email suggests a very individual response to feelings and situations, which is bourne out as soon as the reader hears her voice. Naomi's first person narrative, which is interspersed throughout the dominant third person narrative, is addressed to a ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Hurting Distance - Sophie Hannah: Hurting Distance - another great novel by Sophie Hannah (629 words)
by - written on 11/03/09 (Very useful, 118 readings)
Rating:

I have previously reviewed the first Sophie Hannah novel I read and thoroughly enjoyed, so thought I would now review the second. I must admit I was looking forward to reading this book, as I love it when I find a new author I like, and after reading 'Little Face' I couldn't wait to read her next novel 'Hurting Distance'. I wasn't disappointed, it was every bit as much enjoyable as 'Little Face' and another page-turner I could not put down until I had finished. A good point is that we are re-introduced to Detectives Zailer and Waterhouse and again we follow the sub- storyline of their chemistry and feelings for each other. Although these ...  Read the complete review

The best start to a Grisham book I have read A few of the twists can seem to be a little far fetched

Another great, cracking thriller from a highly successful authoress None- a briliant and compelling thrill-ride


Has the germ of a potentially interesting idea Dull plot, boring characters, badly written

Easy page turning read gaping plot holes and laughable dialogue.

suspenseful, interesting, complex very dragged out (but good for suspense)
