Happy to listen to Robin Miles for five and some hours (or a hundred hours, however long she's willing to read, really), but not that sure about the rest of it. This is theoretically a solid horror set up: elderly woman is moved into a suspiciously perfect assisted living facility in the middle of nowhere, and we the readers are left to wonder if she's losing her grip on reality, or if the woman running the place is trying to turn everyone into mushrooms in a crazed bid for immortality. This all aided by the woman being a surrealist painter.

But it didn't actually work for me either as a horror premise because it felt really by the numbers, or as a comment on elder care because it was too detached from reality. The most interesting aspect to me was the shifting impressions of the main character's former partner, but we didn't get a whole lot of that.

People seem to like Reid, so maybe this one just wasn't for me.
