W.K. Blais can write beautifully -- in a very "literary" manner. I believe this is her voice and her calling. Instead, she jumped into a horrid story of murder and retribution. In School of the Assassins she ignored her talent once she was into her book at about 20 pages. Then all hell breaks loose and the horror-filled world of South Africa rears its ugly head. The author's talents are lost in the grim, sadistic, wretched-filled events that tell this tale of murder and retribution.I wanted more from this author, and felt I had it initially. She has such promise ... but, alas, this is not the book she should be know for in what i hope will be a long a wonderful career of writing.
