If there is a razzies award for books, this book should definitely be on the list. The plot is old, the writing is dry, and it doesn't engage the reader in any way nor does it seem too convincing a story.
Annie Sullivan was a successful realtor who was abducted by a Freak( as she calls him), who kept her locked up in a cabin as his make-believe wife. Anne Sullivan subsequently bore a child with the freak, only to have him smothered the baby to death. After her baby died, she finally plucked up the courage to put an axe through the freak's head. There werent too many suspects in the story to keep you from guessing who the mastermind was. Zero points for intrigue.
The writing was also pretty messy. The author jumped from one past event to the future and then to the present. Anne Sullivan was also constantly relating the entire story to a shrink ( the reader, if you will) but the dialogue seemed too contrite and unrealistic.
It makes me wonder how the book got published. Stroke of luck maybe?
