A Death Divided di Clare Francis
Joe, who is struggling with his job with a high powered legal firm in London is faced with the task of attempting to find his childhood friend who disappeared 4 years previously.[return][return]There were a couple of plot threads, such as the relationship with the father, which seemed to be rather intense at the beginning of the story, but petered out 2/3rds of the way through. Seemed rather a waste in energy for it to go nowhere.[return]And I couldnt understand why they would turn to a solicitor to search for her, as it didnt appear they had gotten an investigator at any point.[return][return]An average story at best… (altro)
Short stories are a genre I’ve come to late in life. Why haven’t I always read them? Who knows. These days I love having a collection on the go, in the background, while reading other things. They’re a great way to have a break and still be entertained. Being short they don’t mess about. They get to the point quickly, deliver their punchline and end nicely, all rounded off and packed away. This is a particularly good selection, really enjoyed them!
London-based solicitor Alex O'Neill returns to the rural village where she grew up to help her old friend (and one-time flame) deal with the disappearance of his wife. Old memories blend with new and the plot takes many turns before the mystery is solved.
