Sometimes we love too much.
‘White Bodies‘ has an intriguing story to tell, at points it hangs a bit to much on a single idea though which forces the reader in a certain direction. For that reason it took me some time to really get into this book, to get hooked by it. You know there will be twists in the story and it simply took me too long before this happened.
Robins tries to get into the mind of Hitchcock and pulls out a story which could have been his, a reference to him is repeatedly made by recalling ‘Strangers on a Train‘.Nevertheless I liked this book; Robins’ writing style is good and she manages to turn events in the end in a Hitchcock kind of way. Somehow predictable but with a twist.
