Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: Dark Saturday by Nicci French
Blurb: Thirteen years ago eighteen-year-old Hannah Docherty was arrested for the brutal murder of her family. It was an open-shut case and Hannah's been incarcerated in a secure hospital ever since.
When psychotherapist Frieda Klein is asked to meet Hannah and give her assessment of her, she reluctantly agrees. What she finds horrifies her. And Frieda is haunted by the thought that Hannah might be as much of a victim as her family; that something wasn't right all those years ago.
And as Hannah's case takes hold of her, Frieda soon begins to realize that she's up against someone who'll go to any lengths to protect themself.
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: This is an overdue review book that has been sitting on my shelf for years. I have a number of books by this author on my TBR but since I actually own this I really should read it first.
I've read one book in this series and always meant to read more, but then forgot about it. thanks for the reminder about these mysteries. :D
ReplyDeleteI've read all in the Frieda Klein series but be warned , this book is number 6 in the series. I liked the character development and grew to like how all the main characters interacted.
ReplyDeleteI also have read all the Frieda Klein books - several years ago. As Tina says, the characters do change and grow, but you know how that is when books are part of a series. Might have to think about rereading these at some point. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's a series I might read someday.
