I have a Kindle e-reader and so I can get samples sent to me before buying. When I read the sample of Sleep Tight, the first Abbott book I read, I was immediately drawn into the plot and was very much looking forward to reading the book. However, as I continued to progress to the meat of the book I was annoyed by the over emphasis on the emotional agonizing of the female character. I am a mystery book afficionado and have read hundreds in my lifetime so I definitely know what I like and what I don't like and what I DONT LIKE is delving endlessly into the wishy washy, tear stained, weak kneed, wavering psyche of any character, especially a female one. You just want to yell "Get a grip, girl"! I finished Sleep Tight because there were interesting characters and an excellent plot line and it didn't wander off unbearably far into this emotional morass. Next I read The Back Road, and this one REALLY started to drive me crazy! Such a large part of this book was devoted to the blubbering internal life of the main female character that I was BARELY able to finish it. It was MUCH WORSE than Sleep Tight in this regard. I just skimmed much of the last half but, yes, I finished it because the essential plot and characters are so interesting. Unless you want to just skim a large part of this book or you don't mind these soap opera-y meanderings, I can't recommend this one. ### ⭐⭐ Not at all up to par for Rachel Abbott - 2.5 Stars *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2016* What a disappointment! I'm a big fan of this author and ordinarily enjoy her work, but this book fell well short of the mark! Although the plot line itself was actually very intricate and well worth pursuing, the writing was hopelessly melodramatic. The events were overly romanticized, and the dialogue was sickeningly sweet! Ugh! The pacing was off, too, and so the story really dragged at times with so much repetition that it became boring. This book could have easily been 50 pages shorter and would have resulted in a better product. Overall, the book would have been much more interesting if Tom, the former policeman/neighbor, had played a more central role as he usually does in Abbott's other novels in this series. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Way too long *by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2020* This is the second book in the series about policeman Tom Douglas. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the spot for me. For one thing, it was way too long and for another it had too many characters embroiled in ugly and unnecessary lies not to mention plain stupid behaviour. I did like the quotation it used to emphasise being truthful though _ Friedrich Nietzsche " I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you." 3 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/33499041-the-back-road-tom-douglas-thrillers-book-2](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/33499041-the-back-road-tom-douglas-thrillers-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
