Unusual Chiller With a Twist in the Tale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Bird is an understated, exciting chiller which captivated me the whole way through until the clever ending. Jane Adams' writing style is deceptively simple but she creates an intriguing atmosphere that draws the reader in. There are interesting flashbacks every few pages as the past is key in uncovering the present day mystery and these add to the tension.The characters are very believable. Marcie is the lead, a young married woman who has become estranged from her family after they treated her badly. Now she has returned to stay with them for a while as her grandfather Jack is dying. However Jack keeps seeing the ghost of a woman called Rebekkah and eventually this ghost begins to haunt the entire family. Marcie begins to research into who this woman was and she comes to some pretty disturbing conclusions. The ending is surprising and wonderful with some deep psychological insight.Overall Bird is a fast paced psychological chiller that I would recommend to anyone who likes thrillers, regardless of whether they enjoy a supernatural element or not. The English setting and characters are realistic, especially the cold and stilted relationship between Marcie and her grandmother and aunt Alice. The ending is memorable, making you question the motives of some of the characters.JoAnne
