Fallen by Linda CastilloMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Disappointed because on page 50 I knew who the murderer had to be! Rachael has to be one of Castillo's least likeable victims! Headstrong, rebellious, lived life to the fullest, sure, but also selfish, vindictive and a liar. Nothing about her, even as a supposedly precocious child appealed to me. That said, no one should die in such a way. But, not liking her made the book less interesting. As soon as I deducted who the murderer was and why, as I said, on page 50, I remembered the opening scene and knew without a doubt that the red herring wasn't the one. Even the murderer cites the opening scene at the end. Much too transparent this time, Ms Castillo. Hopefully, just poor editing and not a change in style. I'm moving to The Hidden One , number 14, now so we shall see!
