Seems John Saul just takes his old books and recycles and throws this junk out. If you read Unloved, save yourself the money and invest In Patricia Cromwell.

I confuse it with "The second Child" too. I was just looking here for the plot to actually see if I am right about it or not. I was. It's a great book, like all of JS. I can't let any of his books down untill I finish them. I love them all, they are breathtaking. But did you observe that all of them (Ok, all I've read) have to do with children? that makes everything more scary. "Punish the sinners" is yet the best!
