bibliobeck: A very difficult read due to the subject matter, but brilliantly written tale of a couple who kill their own child.

Quite a thought-provoking book with the emotive topic of cot-deaths behind the narrative. Fliss Benson,assistant to Laurie Natrass, has been asked by him to continue producing the TV programme he has master-minded on this topic when he leaves his job. Three women who were perhaps wrongly convicted of killing their babies have now been freed, and they are the subject of the programme. As Fliss continues to probe, her own tragedy begins to emerge. There are many strands to this story, many characters too. I didn't wholly beleive in any of them, nor were many of them in any way sympathetic. So whilst it was an interesting, even gripping story from time to time (what is the significance of those white cards with 16 numbers on each, distrubted to some of the characters in the book?), I don't feel moved to read any more of Hannah's books (

I was disappointed in this book as I found the characters to be irritating and/or flat. I found it difficult to follow and by the end really couldn't care less. (

Programmamaakster Fliss Benson ontvangt op haar werk een anonieme kaart, waarop zestien cijfers staan, in rijen van vier. Het zegt haar helemaal niks. Diezelfde dag gaat Fliss tegen haar zin aan de slag voor een documentaire over gerechtelijke dwalingen bij de veroordeling voor moord van moeders wier kinderen aan wiegendood zijn overleden. De documentaire volgt drie vrouwen: Helen Yardley, Sarah Jaggard en Rachel Hines. Alle drie zijn ze nu vrij. Naar de arts die hen achter de tralies heeft gekregen, dr. Judith Duffy, is onderzoek ingesteld door het medisch tuchtcollege. Om redenen die ze met niemand deelt, zit Fliss niet te wachten op dit project. Dan wordt Helen Yardley dood aangetroffen in haar woning, met in haar zak een kaart met zestien cijfers erop, gerangschikt in rijen van vier...

The fifth in the series has more, more, more twists and less, less, less Zailer and Waterhouse, but not to ill effect. The main characters are two film producers trying to get to a resolution on three cases of possible child murders by moms. Snowman figures more prominently, as he had arrested one of the accused. And he's really making Waterhouse literally crazed, not a far drive. Plenty of humor and insight, as usual. (

I love most of Sophie Hannah's books for the first three quarters-- compelling ideas, genius hooks, interesting characters. Then the denouements often seemed rushed and unsatisfying. This one is much better, with interesting issues and a great setup. There was much more sustained tension til the end, which was great. (

For Anne Grey, who introduced me to, among many other invaluable pieces of wisdom, the motto 'Take nothing personally, even if it's got your name on it'. This dedication is the exception to that generally sound rule.

Transcript of Interview 1, 12 February 2009

(first part of interview - five or so minutes - not taped. RH only allowed me to start recording once I stopped asking about the specifics of her case. I turned the conversation to HY thinking she would talk more freely.)

RH: I met Helen Yardley once, that's all.
