Summary: Good writing but preachy
Comment: Well-plotted mystery with a dark mood and plenty of red herrings. A child is found dead, possibly a suicide, though McKenna suspects murder. One thing is certain, the young boy was sexually assaulted though the folks at the children's reformatory claim that he was sexually active and provoking.

I would give this a higher rating except the Taylor's writing gets preachy implying that social workers don't care a tinker's whatever about abused children. She also perpetuates the myth that gays are pedophiles, peddling the worst homophobic claptrap.

It's well-written and I will give her another chance, but there are several places in this book when her ill-informed polemics made me want to throw it across the room.

Rating: 5
Summary: Based on fact
Comment: The true story of molestation in a Welsh children's home is touched on in Ian McEwen's "Amsterdam." Very dark and gloomy but well-written. You won't find it easy to put down but you might find it depressing. Gays might be offended by the implied inkage of pedophilia and homosexuality.

Summary: A MYSTERY IN WALES
Comment: I have read and enjoyed mrs Taylor's second book. It was good to read more about the main characters, the policemen with out a clue, and the town's people who are naturally reticent and believe it is their duty to keep the police in the dark. I will watch for more episodes to come, as I hope she does not stop now. I especially love the descriptions of the Welsh country and city life.
