Talking To Strange Men by Ruth Rendell




Genre: Mystery

About: The messages were coming in; coded messages that John Creevey should never have seen. Was it a major spy ring? A drugs gang? Or a protection racket? Whatever they were, to John Creevey the messages were a lifeline -a means of getting back his wife and harming the man who seduced her.

My Review: I read the first chapters like 3 times. The introduction does not seem to capture me and get me in the mood for the story. I tried skipping the few chapters hoping i could finally get somewhere but nope, still lost. You read and be the judge. Sorry Ruth.

My Rating: 1.5/5
