A review by vikingwolf
A Room Swept White by Sophie Hannah
1.0
I liked the idea of the book more than the actual book itself.Three women have been freed or aquitted of murdering children in their care and the doctor who testified against them is facing misconduct charges.As a documentary about their cases is being filmed,one woman is murdered and everyone connected to the project is in danger.
A good idea that did not work for me as I read the book.Our heroine Fliss is a cardboard cutout female,placed there to fall in love with her boss and interview one of the women,but there seems to be no point to her!Her own 'dark secret' was a good one but I felt the author just threw it into a conversation for no reason and could have explored it a bit more.Simon the policeman was an obnoxious caveman whose obsessive hatred of his boss seemed more important at times in the story than the murder investigation which I found really annoying.It was also a bit obvious to me who the killer was.
overall I was very disappointed by this book.
