Someone from the Past

Sarah has been receiving threatening anonymous letters seemingly from a former lover. Just one day after revealing this information to her co-worker Nancy, Sarah is shot and found in her bedroom by one of her past flames, Donald. Desperate to clear any evidence of Donald's presence at the scene for her own infatuations, Nancy finds herself as the key suspect when she is discovered in the apartment. As the real killer uses the situation to their advantage, Bennett crafts a tense and nuanced story through flashbacks to Sarah's life and loves in this Gold-Dagger-award-winning story of deceit and murder.

A Most Peculiar Murder Mystery

Whichever way you look at it: as a most peculiar murder mystery, or as an intricate stream-of- thought romance - narrator Charlotte Strevens is certainly one of the 3 best narrators I have ever had the pleasure of listening to!

All cleverness, no depth

The only thing to like here was the clever story line. There’s no heart, depth, or meaning.
