5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful excursion to another time, another place., 22 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Blink (Macmillan crime) (Hardcover)
Not just a murder mystery, but a very interesting and sensitive story of a young girl's loss of innocence as she is forced by circumstances to understand the adult world and the complicated lives of those around her. The book contains many passages that brilliantly capture the essence of a 12 year old's view of the world in the early sixties. Andrea Badenoch has moved on from "Mortal" and "Driven" to produce sympathetic characters. You care what happens to these people, especially the girl, and turn every page to the end to find out. Particularly evocative and enjoyable are Kathleen's conversations with the policeman and her interest in John Glenn's space travel, as relayed through her thoughts, conversations with her "Da" and one beautifully written letter to John Glenn himself. Born in 1962, this book took me back to my childhood with ease. As to the mystery, there are a few twists and turns to keep you guessing to the final pages. Along the way, you'll smile to yourself, laugh, and your heart strings will certainly be tugged. This is much more than a simple murder mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Move over Christie. Badenoch is here!, 13 Jan 2002
This review is from: Blink (Macmillan crime) (Hardcover)
This novel is a page-turner, unputdownable; an intelligent read. It is also richly textured in atmosphere, authenticity of era, and peopled with wonderful living characters.
The idea of unfolding the mystery through the eyes of an innocent but highly intelligent twelve year old girl is brilliant and original, and her tender years are in no way restricting to the adult reader because Badenoch's characters reveal themselves so thoroughly.
It is exciting to at last discover a crime writer who entertains while exercising the reader's mind, instead of splashing the pages with gore.
After reading this book I feel I've experienced what it was like living in Durham at that time.
I'm now a fan and look forward to her next book.
