4.0 out of 5 stars Oddly compelling, October 2, 2000
This review is from: Lipstick & Lies (Hardcover)
This is an oddly compelling book which demonstrates the huge talent of this author. It tells the story of Anna, a woman now in her fifties whose mother was murdered when Anna was 8 years old.

Anna has been trying to suppress all her memories of the night that her mother was killed and the subsequent hanging of the man convicted of her mother's murder, her mother's adulterous lover. Suppressing these memories becomes impossible when the murder becomes the subject of two separate investigations 45 years later and Anna is forced to remember things she would rather not about those times.

The plotting is interesting here and the major characters developed at some depth. The conclusion does not come as a huge surprise but the book is nevertheless well worth the effort to get hold of and read.
