White Bodies by Jane Robins
Dec. 29th, 2019 10:39 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Callie loves Tilda.
She’s her sister, after all. And she’s beautiful and successful.
Tilda loves Felix.
He’s her husband. Successful and charismatic, he is also controlling, suspicious and, possibly, dangerous.
Still, Tilda loves Felix.
And Callie loves Tilda. Very, very much.
So she’s made a deal to save her. But the cost could destroy them both ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Jane Robins’s psychological thriller is a tedious, silly affair that poorly uses the serious subject of controlling male behaviour. The lacklustre plot is far too easy to guess and isn’t helped by an alienating main character whose personality ‘quirks’ include eating things that belong to her fundamentally unpleasant sister and who never acts in a believable or rational way (to the extent that at one point I thought she was special needs).
Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
