The Back of the Book
In 1693, the settlers on the small Maine island of Sanctuary were betrayed to their enemies and slaughtered. Since then, the island has known three hundred years of peace.
Until now. For men are descending on Sanctuary, their purpose to hunt down and kill the wife of their leader and retrieve the money that she stole from him. All that stands in their way are a young rookie officer, Sharon Macy, and the island's strange, troubled policeman, the giant known as Melancholy Joe Dupree. But Joe Dupree is no ordinary policeman. He is the guardian of the island's secrets, the repository of its memories. He knows that Sanctuary has been steeped in blood once; it will tolerate the shedding of innocent blood no longer. Now a band of killers is set to desecrate Sanctuary and unleash the fury of its ghosts upon themselves and all who stand by them.
On Sanctuary, evil is about to meet its match ...

Journal Entry 3 by pumpkin-head from Glasgow, Scotland United Kingdom on Wednesday, January 18, 2006
Followed me home when releasing at Centre for Womans Health - naughty book! Go sit on Mt TBR...
This book took forever to get into and I'm not sure it was really worth the effort. Too many characters and too many plot threads to start out with, I couldn't keep track of who was who, or where they were.
It did all come together in the second half of the book, but you never get to know any of the characters well enough to feel much sympathy for them or be too bothered what their fate will be.
Will release somewhere when I'm out this afernoon.

RELEASE NOTES:
I made it to page 150 which took a bit of doing , but then could take no more. A dreadful book, voices that don't sound real and violence for its own sake.
Wish I had read the comment from the releasee before even making an attempt.
I guess I'll release it again. I certainly wouldn't inflict it on anyone I know.
