I liked her book "Simeon's Bride" but found this a chore, one I gave up on a little more than halfway through the too-many 339 pages. It's too depressing and drawn out. I got tired of the bickering between the police team and the setting of the children's "home" run by sadistic people got old. Hardly any of the characters had any redeeming qualities which made it hard to care about any of them.
