review I have a feeling my opinion is going to be much higher than those of you who are mystery novel buffs who may read this book when it comes out. But it I have a feeling my opinion is going to be much higher than those of you who are mystery novel buffs who may read this book when it comes out. But it would probably be the same as those of you who read books and have the ability to critically analyze them. The Bay at Midnight was cliche, jumpy, and easily predictable. The characters were two demensional at best, and the story line was thin and lacking in certain places. It jumped characters, perspectives, and times much more often then neccessary. And two seperate romances blossomed up way too quickly and made me want to barf. The relationship between the mother and daughter could have been really good, but instead it was just one sided really. Making the mother seem like a saint trying to do everything she can, while the daughter (who is the least demensional character in the book I should add) came off as a shallow, irresponsible bitch. Maybe I'm biased because I'm the same age as the girl, and sort of in the same position (minus being knocked up), but the daughter acts more like she's just entering high school rather than heading off to college. The ending was horribly cliche and sappy... like something out of a Lifetime movie. Hey, perhaps this will become one. Hopefully Chamberlain will get enough feedback similar to mine, that she will revise and try and put more depth into this story and it's characters before it comes out in two months. ...more
