Customer Reviews

Intelligent/moving mystery akin to the work of P.D. James!

L.R. Wright moves us with the intelligent portrayal of a life wasted. Her central characters of Karl Ahlberg and his fiancee Cassandra are well rounded, likeable, and all too human. You will find your heart aches for the boy in this book, and at the same time he will frighten you. Wright has the gift of eliciting emotion from her readers. Her supporting characters (Sid & Bernie) flesh out the story such that you want to read more about them as well. Altogether a great read!
