Review: WHO TO BELIEVE

Review: WHO TO BELIEVE

I'd read a title or two by Edwin Hill early on, and so looked forward to reading WHO TO BELIEVE. But less than 50 pages in, after I had already spent a chunk of the preceding pages curling my lip regarding a certain character (who really set me off), I found myself going ballistic and figuratively spitting nails, I was so furious! I felt as if the author had betrayed me, making me discover horrible secrets unwarned. And then! More horrible secrets! Talk about morally gray: these characters are solidly in "morally black!"

Fictional Monreith, Massachusetts, seemingly a quiet unassuming small town, is actually a descendant of Peyton Place!! Almost nobody is truly free of secrets and misdeeds. Of course, some are much worse [and more fatal] than others. And nobody is trustworthy.

Once I had finished and calmed down, I decided I was glad I had read the novel, though by no stretch of any imagination could it be considered "comfy" or comforting. Can there be THAT MANY evil people in one small town? Doesn't ANYBODY behave?😳
