The Solace of Sin

Summary: More travels with Catherine Cookson
Review: It's always a pleasure to read a Catherine Cookson book because you can bet the protagonist will always come out on top no matter what the circumstances. In THE SOLACE OF SIN Constance Stapleton retreats to a home in the country to escape the problems she's facing in the city with her husband who's a lech in the true sense of the word. She meets up with Vincent O'Connor and his family who help her through these difficult times. Although the writing was pure Catherine Cookson, I found the characters a bit flat compared to others I've encountered and wish she would have developed Constance a bit more. This lady was just too good to be true. Still, all in all, I would recommend it to die-hard Cookson fans who (like me) can't seem to get enough of her.
