But as I said in my review DEAD LOVELY broke a lot of rules, and got away with it!<BR/>Another book that does something interesting with POV is Karin Slaughter's TRIPTYCH where we have a novel in 3 parts, a trio of investigators, and a moment in time seen from three points of view.Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-22466941908150364202008-07-06T13:07:00.000+09:302008-07-06T13:07:00.000+09:30I really liked the changing POV in Dead Lovely 'co...I really liked the changing POV in Dead Lovely 'cos it kept me on my toes. It took me ages to work out why she changed to Mike's POV for a chapter fairly early on. Katherine Howell also used that kind of thing in her first novel, Frantic, which I've only just read (I'm cheap so I tend not to buy books when they first come out).Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
