2.0 out of 5 stars
Run of the mill light suspense, September 28, 2004
This review is from: Deveron Hall: A novel of suspense (Hardcover)
This is very very light reading. There isn't much but fluff here. The love angle was thankfully downplayed because it wasn't very believable anyway. There wasn't enough time for the characters to form any kind of relationship. In general, the story just seems dated (it is the early 70's I suppose)... I can hardly believe that some intrepid police inspector failed to notice key evidence that night putting the true murderess behind bars. Or surely forensic science would have solved the case preventing the mother from going to a mental institution.
Readers would be better off reading something with a little more backbone... Agatha Christie or P.D. James.
