Reviews for Innocent Victims
22 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is brilliant: two high-interest crime novellas, written by one of my favorites in the field for her ability to twist the spaghetti, and, they're written to be accessible to adults only just becoming literate or fluent in English. There's no feeling that Walters has "written down" to her audience. The stories are complex and engrossing and if I didn't know going in that they were commissioned for a specific reason, I never would have guessed. The prose itself is straightforward and so functional as to be almost invisible, like the best kind of reporting. Highly recommended to reluctant adult readers, to people who think they don't like crime stories, and also a good introduction to Walters' work in particular. A good choice for anyone who really liked Gone Girl and is wanting something like that.
Library copy - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Two short novellas, both with unusual endings. I really liked the way the author developed the characters and the story line. It's time to try one of this author's books.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Two novellas and I really liked the first one "Chickenfeed", which was based on a true case. The second one I did not like as well, really couldn't get into any of the characters. Short read but I am a big Walters fan.
