4.0 out of 5 stars Minette Walters The Dark Room, 31 July 2011

J. L. Frakes "Raphael" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Dark Room (Paperback)

I can't understand some of the reviews on this book - i.e. dismissive - Walters is a writer given to detail as much as story line and if you expect anything different you shouldn't read her books. The Dark Room was good - once again the family lunch and supper was delayed - she never fails to deliver - and if she repeats little things like PDQ so what - such things do not detract from her hold on the reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping, focused and psychologically challenging, 21 Nov 2001

htaylor68@hotmail.com (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Dark Room (Audio Cassette)

Minette Walters manages to do it again in a little known of book. She manages to get inside the heads of her charcters in this book which is crucial to the plot. With so many twists you never predict the ending until you read it. It also has the human desparation factor you feel for Jinx and want her to succeed in her life. Her doctor is probably the most important person in her life and plays a central role but it is the add on characters that create the most intrigue like her father and brother. She has been battered and bruised but the question is why has she been left for dead? If you enjoy not being able to put a book down then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cleaver and thrilling unputdownable mystery., 11 Feb 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Dark Room: Unabridged (Audio Cassette)

Another thrilling mystery from one of Walters' gripping collection. The mystery will keep you guessing until the end. Cleaver and well grafted this thriller is totally unputdownable.
