A CERTAIN MALICE - Felicity Young - Crème de la Crime
ISBN 0 9547634 4 0
Senior Sergeant Cameron Fraser doesn't even talk to his daughter about the fear that haunts him, and she, a teenager, trying to get on with her life, rebels against the restrictions he puts on her. He has moved them away from Sydney where his wife and son died in a house fire caused by a bomb that he believes was meant for him, to the small Outback community where he grew up and where he met his wife. A charred body is found at the school Cam's wife attended and where he plans to send his daughter and the autopsy and another fire revive memories of his wife's burnt body. He forces himself to carry on and finds himself in more and more trouble.
A good story full of in-depth characters and twists and turns. I look forward to Felicity's next.

Felicity Young has got everything right with this thriller; great writing, fast paced, superb plot and just enough misdirection to keep you reading from start to finish. But probably the most impressive thing is how real the characters are, not least her physically and psychologically scarred Senior Sergeant Cam Fraser.

Format:Paperback
Senior Sergeant Cam Fraser's quest to provide a safe, normal life for his teenage daughter following the death of his wife and son in a fire, leads him back to the rural Australian town in which he grew up. As he attempts to reconcile his loss and cope with an emotionally distraught daughter who longs to return to the city and the world she knew, he has to deal with murder, corruption, ghosts from the past, and the myriad small town jealousies that colour the lives of those around him.
Felicity Young skilfully pulls all these strands together in a compelling murder mystery centred in and around the prestigious Glenroyd Ladies' College.
The charm and dangers of small town Australia are vividly depicted as tension mounts within this deceptively benign environment. A well written story of a decent mans struggle to face his fears, do his job professionally within a hostile atmosphere and protect a daughter who resents the restrictions forced upon her.
Enthralling and thoroughly recommended.
