Suspects

I have read all of Lesley Pearse's books and whilst I enjoyed this one, it was not my favourite. I gave it four stars, but 3 1/2 was closer to the mark. I worked out fairly quickly who the killer was. I found the book a little frustrating as I had to keep remembering who the characters were - obviously the author realised this and when talking about the characters each time gave you a link back to the original description and background of the character. The amount of issues that the characters in the close where they lived had became a little implausible, and

Waited to read this book but was disappointed definitely notone of her best O have always enjoyed her previous books

I read this through my online book club and looked forward to it based on the blurb. Sadly, the hype failed to translate on any level. The writing was poor and the storytelling weak, but perhaps the worst thing about this book was the appalling characterization. The non-stop aspersions cast on people's looks with a heavy bias against anyone overweight was frankly more than off-putting. Add to this dialogues that are beyond ridiculous and you have the recipe for a dismal read.I don't know what surprised me most- the fact that this author is seasoned with many books under her belt, the astonishing number of good reviews this book has received( but reminded myself that "The view of the majority is not to be confused with the truth") or my resolve to read till the end in order to leave a fair review.The premise for a good thriller was there which is what earned it a star. A child gets murdered in a close on which several people live and they form the primary suspects. I identified the guilty party right at the beginning so even a big twist or reveal wasn't forthcoming. Last, but by no means least the police behaviour in the investigation was ridiculous. Despite poor editing I did not allow glaring errors to affect my review as the copy read was an advance copy.Poor all round.1 star.

It's sad, really, because I've enjoyed numerous Lesley Pearse offerings in the past, but this is amateurish and basically unreadable. My thanks to the Pigeonhole for the opportunity to read it, but to be honest I didn't get very far into it; it was that bad!
