Thanks for explaining that. I was sooo disappointed with that ending and thought Ms
Cornwall had sold out to the movie makers.
I also very much liked her Hornets Nest and it's sequel.
You know I only got into crime novels by accicent. i picked up a Minnette walters one
day,
The Dark room, and from the blurb on it, got the copmplete wrong idea about what it was
about(I had thought it was about a child abuse survivor) but turned oput to be a crime
thriller. i was hooked!
I forgot to mention i also like Fay Weldon. Praxis, Puffball, The Life and Loves Of A
She
Devil which was turnd into an horrendously bad film, which did not keep to the story
as in
the book. It really pisses me off when they do that!
