I love Minette Walters. After reading Devil’s Feather I am tempted to ignore Inheritance of Loss a bit longer and read another Walters that is calling me from the “to be read” shelf. But I won’t, I’ll read Inheritance now and then get back to Walters!
I think TW said that The Devil’s Feather was boring. I’m not sure why she found it boring. The initial area of the book, the foreshadowing so to speak, was a little slow – but once the bad guy got really bad, it was anything BUT boring.
I liked both Connie and Jess quite a bit. I disliked Dr Peter from start to finish but that’s ok – which says something about Minette Walters… that I can dislike a major character, one who has solid relationships with the two main characters that I love, and not hold it against the author – that never happens.
(Terrorism abounds in this book. Rape, torture – it’s pretty ugly. If you’ve got personal “triggers”, this may not be the book for you.)
Very nice blog you have here.
