The Heights by Louise CandlishMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This started strong and became a long tirade about a mother obsessed with her son's bad-influencing friend. Book opens with the mother seeing the friend after a few years of him supposedly being killed by her - well, that is what she shares upfront. Good premise but again it was a slow and drawn out tale about the past and her son's friendship with this guy and how much the mother detested his involvement, etc. She was so annoying and the author seemed fixated on her alone that everything and everyone else in the story wasn't defined well. I'd surely try another of Candlish's other books because I like her writing style but this story was a dud.
