The Barnes & Noble Review -
At the start of Acid Row, we learn that one hot summer's day all hell broke loose in crime-ridden Bassindale Estates housing project (nicknamed "Acid Row" by its inhabitants). It began as a peaceful protest, when local mothers organized a march against a registered pedophile who had been resettled there. But when a child is reported missing, the protest march is hijacked by local teens who set up barricades to keep out the police. As Molotov cocktails begin to fly and angry lynch mobs roam the neighborhood, 19-year-old Mel, six months pregnant and desperate to protect her two young children, struggles to hold a thin line of friends and neighbors against the raging mob, and her boyfriend, two days out of jail and the police's only hope for rescuing a hostage, stands against a tide of angry people who've decided they have nothing left to lose. Minette Walters has a gift for creating complex characters whose actions and motivations are totally believable, even as they are caught up in situations of harrowing tension. She weaves together strands of several stories in Acid Row, drawing readers into this darkly compelling world to discover who will live, who will die, and who has the missing child.
