17 Church Row- James Carol- Psychological thriller
If you enjoy thinking about the future and what might be- sit down and enjoy the
ride- but hold on! Nikki and Ethan have just moved into their new house 17 Church
Row with their daughter. She was one of twins but unfortunately her sister Grace
died when they got out of the door. since that time Bella hasn;t spoken a word and
only speaks through her electronic pad. 17 Church row has Alice an artificial
intelligence system (think a super version of Alexa) which controls everything from
power on phone down to doors, light heating and even ordering takeaways and
making the coffee. Of course a system is only as good as it’s programme and
occasional things go wrong. For me there was a glaring mistake in that Bella told
Alice not to tell her parents where she was hiding. After losing a child I would
have thought that they would specifically asked Alice only to take certain, if any,
instructions from Bella. But then again this is not real life. We get intermittent
chapters about Katy whose Father tried to kill her. We don’t know where she fits
into the story just glimpses of the relationship she had with her Father. Omg!
This drew me in and kept me there. After reading books about automated cars
and now houses I really don’t feel comfortable going there. A book to keep
you turning and one perhaps to make you think in part of what is not in reality
that far away. Stunning.
