I finished reading Ruth Rendell's 'Shake Hands Forever' today. I found it on the shelves at work. I don't normally read crime ficiton, but I know a few people who do, and it's a Wexford, which are supposed to be good, so...
It was light & fluffy, and a bit dated, which is fine, cause it was written in the 70s, and I'm a retro kinda guy. The story was quite well written, though one of the subplots was ridiculous. The tension ramped up OK until the last 30pages, when it just got to 'oh, let's finish it anyway'. The twist at the end was very neat, but really deeply deeply implausible, and ill-thought out, which was a shame. I'd started expecting very little, but the early part of the book made me hope for much more.
