Afterwards, Rosamund Lupton
Book Addict Reviews
Last week, I was at a conference for reading teachers in Springfield, IL. One of the vendors in the exhibit hall, Anderson’s Books (a great independent bookstore in Naperville, IL, in case you happen to be local), had some reader-centric t-shirts in their booth. I came home with these two…
And that is where Lupton lost me a bit. Because was seemed like an interesting plot device at the beginning soon got rather tired. Because the fact is that as much as Grace may follow her husband as he tries to keep them safe, or her sister-in-law the police officer as she investigates the fire, she can’t actually DO anything. Except have conversations with people that they can’t hear, or discover clues that she can’t tell anyone. And as the book progresses, it becomes more and more sentimental, to the point that I was actually slightly annoyed by the resolution not of the mystery, which had be guessing until almost the end, but of the novel’s other major plotline, that of whether Grace or Jenny can be saved. I won’t say that I didn’t enjoy reading this book, because it kept me engaged throughout. But I found myself reading faster and faster as the end approached, and not necessarily because I wanted to find out whodunnit-I was ready for it to be over.
