I think it had a lot to do with the kidnapper's behavior as he approached the child. The book has a lot more to do with the past history between Stephanie and Scarlett than it does with the kidnapping.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-69599657615009782132012-10-13T12:14:06.476-07:002012-10-13T12:14:06.476-07:00Cath, I remember reading The Grave Tattoo in Engla...Cath, I remember reading The Grave Tattoo in England during my first trip to the UK, and I really enjoyed it.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-53576358306830452322012-10-13T12:09:42.391-07:002012-10-13T12:09:42.391-07:00Val McDermid's writing is simply superior, ful...Val McDermid's writing is simply superior, full stop.
