Bridesmaid

Summary: Disturbing
Review: This book was typical disturbing Rendell stuff. It kept my interest, but was not as good as some of her other work. She does tend to weave the various bits of the story together, but predictably; no surprises. The end of this was disappointing... it could have been much more dramatic. It was probably too realistic and that is why people didn't like it! The only other thing I did not like is that she really stresses Philip's (main character) aversion to violence, making it sound almost pathological. With this in mind, he does not seem bothered enough by Senta's talk of killing. Someone as sensitive as Philip would have to be wholly turned off by her deranged talk.
