 Muddy Waters = Gloomly reading ? July 9, 2007
I was recommended Judy Astley as enjoyed Katie Ffordes books. Having read through the synopsises for a couple of her books, I choose Muddy Waters to start with, liking the idea of the island setting and potential conflict .
To begin with Judy Astley writing is delightfully effortless to get into. She has a chatty style of writing which keeps you buoyant through out the book. There are some nice characters that back up the main three (Stella, Abigail, and Adrian Stella's husband), Ruth is a particularly refreshing character (and stands out to my mind). You also are given enough information about the island to work out where everyone is and how things work, but not over dominating so you have endless paragraphs of description.
However I must agree with another reviewer not an awful lot happens! To be fair it feels like the last 75 pages got lost at the printers, but they went ahead a printed it anyway. The story works its self up to what appears to be a tense ending, but after the truth comes out there's no real explanation on how things will sort them self's out again (only three pages follow the exposure)? Only when you look back, you find that allot of the other characters storylines (which began very definitely) are ended abruptly with allot of the details skated over.
Having said that is still a excellent smooth undemanding read, worth indulging in!
What happened? July 27, 2003

I listened to this audio book all the way through, waiting for some sort of culmination and in the end, nothing really happened! There were lots of little threads suggesting that something big was going to happen between Adrian (Stella's husband) and Abigail (Stella's best friend), but they never really led anywhere. I felt that the plot had potential, but this was unrealised and I felt unfulfilled at the end. The various characters weren't 'deep' enough to get involved with and I'm afraid that the voice of the narrator (various 'whiny' accents) got on my nerves about a third of the way through, which didn't help!
 Good way to pass the time on holiday November 28, 2001

Judy Astley is a good storyteller, she develops her characters well and the plot is believable. Muddy Waters was a good read on the beach far from home!
