There was much lively discussion within the group, opinions being divided, particularly as to whether the relationship between Joe and his partner Clarissa was convincing,one member regarding the book as having a male bias and lacking in warmth. How Joe deals with this obsession and the effect it has on his relationship throws up many questions and dilemmas throughout the book. Though the child is unharmed, the incident ends tragically and the rest of the book is concerned with the aftermath of the event and most notably with the, ultimately dangerous, obsession that one of the other rescuers develops for Joe.
