BOOK REPORT.....

The Risk of Darkness - Susan Hill

















Product Description(Amazon.com)
We met Simon Serrailler first in The Various Haunts of Men and got to know him better in The Pure in Heart. Susan Hill's third crime novel, The Risk of Darkness-perhaps even more compulsive and convincing than its predecessors-explores the crazy grief of a widowed husband, whose derangement turns into obsession and threats, violence and terror. Meanwhile, handsome, introverted Simon Serrailler, whose cool reserve has broken the hearts of several women, finds his own heart troubled by the newest recruit to the Cathedral staff: a feisty female Anglican priest with red hair. The Risk of Darkness is truly the work of a writer at the top of her form.

MY THOUGHTS:  I started this book not knowing it was a series.  I think that's why I didn't really enjoy this book.  I was totally lost on what was going on.  The author has lots of characters that don't seem to have anything to do with the story line.  I'm sure they do, but I just couldn't finish this book.  When I have so many more books I want to read, I can't see wasting my time on one I'm not enjoying.  I give this book 2.....
