Explanation Concering Books The Breaker

My usual rule is never to read reviews of a novel until I have written my own. In this case I have been obliged to break it, if only to reassure myself that “it’s not just me”.

I suspected from the description in the opening paragraph (of the washed-up corpse of a female rape victim) that I might struggle with this one. By the time I got to the toe-curling account of an adolescent voyeur 5 pages later I knew for certain. I battled on to page 22 (of 447) before reminding myself that I can squeeze in 30 books a year if I’m lucky, so they’d better be good ones.

Thus my recourse to fellow readers. Aha! – 46 reviews and more than half of them 3-stars or below. And – appearing several times – the single word that I had written on my bookmark, “unconvincing”.

It was my first Minette Walters – recommended by an industry source: a novel that combines suspense with detective fiction. Judging by the disappointed Amazon reviewers, it is below her normal standard. It may well achieve the much-heralded cross-genre result, but the characters – in their actions, words and thoughts – were rushed and contrived, and unwilling to let me get a grip on the plot.

Write Up Regarding Books The Breaker

At its heart, this is a classic whodunnit with a small pool of suspects. The genius of Walters is how she keeps peeling away the veneers of the characters to expose layer upon layer of pyschological fungi that Agatha Christie may have dreamed about but certainly couldn't write about. The twists, turns and surprises are completely believable as are the characters. I am again impressed with how Walters can weave so many story lines together without slowing down her plot and wrap them all up to a

Read this years ago and still find it very good. Takes a procedural and blends it with a psychological thriller and a cosy rural romance subplot to create something I still haven't encountered elsewhere.

454 of the 464 pages were completely irrelevant.

Without peeking at the synopsis, I won't be able to tell much about this book. Except that I did read and liked it. Haha, it is late here, not sure why I am up; something to do with words, mine of course. Anyway, I just can't recall what happened here, but knowing Walters like I don't know her, it must have been fair like Chaos.

A women's body washes up on the coast at Dorset. Soon after, a toddler is found wandering alone in the nearby town of Poole. The police investigate, and soon there are two suspects...then three. Any one of them could have committed the crime, and all had the motive. What I liked about this story was the ways in which Walters shows us that the police have a strong lead, causing one suspect to stand out, and then suddenly, the evidence leads them in a whole new direction. This was the first
