Yesterday was truly a wonderful day. After Jason and I returned from dinner I found a birthday cake and a lovely gift at my back door. The cake was from my Chaplain and the gift was from my local brownie troop. I really made me feel special. The rest of the evening was spent stitching and reading. Which reminds me I need to do another book review.
Recently I finished the Naked Room by Diana Hockley.
When classical pianist Ally Carpenter goes missing during a night out
with friends, the implications stretch far beyond her disappearance.
Veteran detective, Senior Sergeant Susan Prescott, believes that sexual
predators may have abducted Ally. However, after two women with
connections to the Carpenters are murdered, she realises there may be
more to the crime than at first thought.
While Prescott puts all
her efforts into solving the crime, those close to Ally battle their own
turmoil. Friendships become strained and secrets come to light as
Ally's terrified mother, Eloise, is forced to confront the lie she has
perpetuated for 26 years. Cellist, Briece Mochrie―determined to discover
what has happened to the girl he loves―is swept into a dangerous
undertow of murder and revenge. The kidnappers have their own agenda;
Ally's life is on the line.
My thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and the plot well written. I especially liked how the author portrayed each scene from several view points--from the victim's, the killer's, the investigator's and the friend's and family's.
If you like mysteries, I highly recommend this book.
