Another stunning thriller from Margaret Murphy, 4 Jun 2003
I have just read Weaving Shadows while on holiday. Wow! For those readers who enjoyed the fabulous Darkness Falls, this one is even better. The way Murphy has brought the characters forward from that novel is masterful - building them as people, giving tantalising hints at the devastating events of the past, and embroiling them in a credible, powerful, sometimes shocking new story. As a sequel it works brilliantly, but it could easily be read on its own. Having said that, anyone who hasn't read Darkness Falls will surely want to get hold of a copy on the back of Weaving Shadows! (Indeed, any of Murphy's previous novels are well worth a read.) As a crime novel it's excellent - I like to think I'm good at guessing twists, but I was shocked at the ending, which seems so horribly inevitable ... Really excellent. I am in awe!
