The Witch's Cradle was a strange book - half thriller, half mystery, and very strangely paced. We begin with a couple who were part of a reality TV series on living in poverty. The public first embrace them, then turn against them when the series is aired. Then their children are kidnapped, and everything changes. And then it changes again. And again.
The Witch's Cradle is strangely plotted, almost like several ideas for stories forced between two covers. The narration often analyses the characters for us, which I found rather off-putting. The ending of this book defied belief, and I had in no way been so absorbed in the story to accept it. 2.5 out of 5.
