A review by ebecks3
The Locksmith's Daughter by Karen Brooks

2.0

This story was WAY too wordy! It also was WAY more graphic than books I like to read in general. I do not enjoy reading a book with the raping an torture of women. Where I know that this happened, I like to escape with my very vivid imagination and this made me cringe as I pictured every gruesome second of this poor woman's torture. I also feel that the murder of the baby by kicking the stomach, etc, was too much. As I read this, I felt more and more like it was written by someone who maybe never lost a baby or is possibly a man, because I felt it was insensitive. It reminded me of when I read The Time Travelers Wife and I felt that the language chosen was not typical of a female writer to describe a female protagonist.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend, even though it was wrapped up with a nice bow at the end. the 22 hours of me listening on audible can't be given back to me and I am very disappointed.
