I read for a short while before I go to sleep and, last night, I finished a book which I can honestly say is the most awful book I have ever read.
I had my doubts in the beginning and didn't like the story, but I read it to its unsatisfactory end and thought what a waste of time.

I usually pass them on to charity shops but this was so awful, I'm going to put it in the recycling bin.

I say, Monika, don't be caddish.

Author(ess) and title ?

The book in question, laurie, is Little Boy Blue by M J Arlidge.

Apparently, it is the fifth in a series of books featuring DI Helen Grace. I have never come across this author before so maybe I would have a different opinion about the previous ones.

What I didn't like about this story was that it was about Sado- Masochism' the murders were very sadistic and, to me - unbelievably - DI Grace herself was a regular participant in BDMS. I thought the storyline ludicrous and the non-ending ending was totally unsatisfactory.

I have now binned it.

I applaud your determination in ploughing to the end (with gritted teeth?!)

Good grief! Who needs it?

There's enough of it in real life.
