![]() ![]() Had I but known, I wouldn't have read this.ĬOUNTDOWN: Mid-20th Century North American Crime She is the "Had I but known" School of mystery writing. I had to force myself to finish this book. Plus, it was one of those books where you figure out a main portion of the solution way early in the book, but you keep getting "barraged" sp? with red herrings. No kidding, and it's about time! The psychic stuff was kind of interesting, and there were some scary moments in the book, but you get over being scared about half way through, after you stop caring. She even says at the beginning of the chapter something like ".so and so's solving of the murder left some very interesting items for discussion".or something like that. "Okay, here's what happened."- not very graceful writing. At the beginning of the last chapter, when she has led you on so many wild goose chases that you don't care about, and then left most of the book unresolved, she writes this "synopsis", instead of writing it into the plot of the book. Irritatingly slow in the revelation of the culprit. Ummmm.did you ever sit across from someone who never gets to the point, and has to tell you every little tiny detail of every little thing? And after a while you just don't care, you just want escape? That was the pace of this book. ![]()
