Commentary Toward Books Hurting Distance (Spilling CID #2)
I picked up this book on spec a couple of years ago and somehow it got shelved before getting read. I am not familiar with this author, but will be adding her books after finishing this review. This one was a British psychological thriller that I found riveting. Suspenseful? Definitely. Intricately plotted? You betcha. Dark? Oh, yeah.What begins as a missing person case soon transitions into attempted murder and a hunt for a serial rapist. Full of serpentine turns and subtle twists, it kept me guessing until deep into the story. The characters were well-defined with flaws aplenty. The clues came together quite nicely, each one making sense as to how it came about. Loved the ending.
As always, the Brit words and phrases provide endless enjoyment for me. I do hope that someday I will have the opportunity (and the nerve!) to exclaim 'You nutter!' to some well-deserving individual. To the folks who don't give a toss, who can be found knackering in a corner pub, who faff around endlessly, and declare a thing to be 'bollocks', I applaud you. So much fun!
I recommend this book for anyone who likes to dip his or her toes into the waters of the dark side, always reserving the right to pull them back quickly, of course.

This is a very unusual book, in not only content, but also in presentation. It will be enjoyed by those who enjoy an English mystery that has many twists and turns throughout the book. It is very detailed in plot and characters.The story centers on Naomi Jenkins. She has fallen in love with the unhappily married Robert Haworth. Robert has disappeared and Naomi goes to the police for help. The police, knowing the situation, do not put much effort into finding Robert. Naomi, in desperation,Spoilers in the below: Individually, each of Sophie Hannah's books holds up well enough. They're not amazing, but they are entertaining. After reading three of her novels, though (including Little Face and the Wrong Mother), I'm frustrated with the pattern that's emerged. Hannah seems to think that all women are emotional idiots, unable to choose a boyfriend, husband, or even one night stand who won't ruin their lives. Women in her books are punished for sex routinely. Perhaps Sophie Hannah is a
I was very curious about this book, I bought it because all the Amazon reviews were so good, and I'm always looking for new, good thriller authors.I hated Naomi from the start. Was that a bad sign? ;) She did nothing to gain my simpathy. She was raped 3 years ago, in a strange and sinister ritual, and hasn't told anyone what happened. Now she thinks she's happy, she's tottaly in love with Robert, a very strange guy, in my opinion. Besides being strange, he's also married, and they only see each

I don't know whether to give this one or two stars. I did finish it, but did not like it at all. Didn't like the characters, the police characters were a little hard to follow. At first I couldn't tell if Naomi was a complete nut job or just stupid- but then she started being described as "very intelligent" so I think the author just wanted you to believe she was so love sick. Once I decided I did not like this book at all, the violence was completely senseless, and it was extremely violent. It

I love that this book was utterly unpredictable, right to the very end. I had never read any of Hannah's work before and a chance encounter of this book at a charity event has been the best thing to happen this month.Alarmed when her married lover, Robert Haworth, does not show up for their weekly rendezvous, Naomi Jenkins waits a few days before doing something she promised Robert she would never do. Things take one insane turn after the other, as Jenkins and Haworth's jilted wife - Juliet -
