Susan Hill's The Pure in Heart
What a hugely disappointing followup to yesterday's book. I should note that although yesterday's was billed as a "Simon Serailler Mystery", he wasn't the main character. Here he was, and he just wasn't as compelling. Plus the book felt a little lazy--like in the first one Simon is described as having striking light hair and dark eyes, but in this his eyes are blue! Come on, editors. Not to mention that the story of a kidnapped boy managed to have absolutely no dramatic tension, and the vast majority of plotlines were completely unresolved--I can only assume there's another book in the works. I won't be reading it. C-.
