well, you see patricia, that is the sort of calm, reasonable thinking that i am totally incapable of when in prey to my most primitive fears, every basic reptile instinct gibbering. and in fact, i'm not even sure i know what the murder method was ; i can't remember whether i actually finished the book, after that. i may not have ; unlike some, i'm not actually a fan of being frightened out of my wits and spending all night with the light on, watching the minutes pass in unbearable tension. but JD Carr was a fan of rather improbable murder methods anyway, so actually that might not have bothered me. i am very good at suspending disbelief if the book is well-written. and i think it's pretty obvious that i at least found the atmosphere convincing.
