Barbara H. (Thomasville, GA)

A disjointed read!
I was disappointed in this novel and certainly did not find it to be anywhere near "a juicy thriller". I just could not get a good read on this novel - literally or figureatively....too many things left undone, unsaid, the plot tending to be unatainable. I could never get a good feel on any of the characters - and seemed that whenever the book was about to "go somewhere" instead it would move on to another venue leaving one confused and floundering. Issues were left unattended to and left hanging and the characters were left unfinished.
The timeperiod seemed more like a millenial novel rather than taking place in 1966. - Just not my cup of tea!
