Journal Entry 1 by dark-draco from Ledbury, Herefordshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, December 21, 2021
This is one of my Mum's favourite authors, so I thought it was about time that I read one of her books. Overall impression, a bit mixed. I kind of enjoyed it at the start, with the two storylines neatly linked and was leaning towards the one in the past as the more interesting story. But towards the end, I'd sort of started disliking most of the characters. Not because they were particularly badly written, but just because I wanted one of them to DO something and not just go into a chapter long retrospective about their lives.
However, I did read to the end to find out what the big mystery behind it all was ... and that ended up a bit of a damp squib. I was taken by surprise as to who was sending the packages, but everything else was a bit of a let down. And the final 'revelation' was such a cliché that it made me instantly dislike one of the characters I'd actually had a modicum of sympathy for.
Overall, an ok read and vaguely entertaining, but not something I'd rush to read again!

Liked the two parallel stories and the setting of post-war London but did find it dragged towards the end.
