review 1: Read this book after listening to a review on Radio 2. To say I enjoyed the book would be the wrong word. Jeremy Howe with his twi daughters waves his wife off at the station as she goes to lecture at summer school. This is last time he sees her as she is murdered. This book deals with the aftermath of such a senseless murder and the loss of a mother and wife. It was thought provoking and made me realise what a sad world we live in at times.
review 2: I wondered why there was so little sympathy for his wife's family in the book. Although he was obviously grief stricken, he's gone on to have a very good second marriage and has two lovely kids. Can't help thinking her mother and father, and the rest of her family who had known and loved her so much longer... more than he had, got little mention, and even less sympathy, even though they presumably wouldn't be able to move on as he has. Felt particularly sorry for her mum. Also for his current wife who must have wondered why he felt it necessary to revisit such a painful issue 20 years after it happened. Spoiled the authentic feeling of the book and made me feel less sympathetic towards the writer. less
