5.0 out of 5 stars Prison Life, 23 Oct 2008
By Damaskcat (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The Dying Light (Hardcover)
Sister Agnes is working at a women's prison when the father of one of the inmates is murdered. What at first seems a straightforward potentially drugs related crime, gradually takes on more and more dimensions as Agnes tries to find out whether Cally's boyfriend Mal is really the murderer as the police seem to think. Agnes has problems of her own to deal with as her mother is seriously ill in France. She finds the ramifications of other people's relationships start to reflect her own problems and she is forced to deal with some long buried issues. The plot is complicated and fast paced and keeps the reader guessing right up until the dramatic conclusion. Even the minor characters are interesting - Rosanna the jazz singer, Cally and Claire - twins who have chosen different roads in life, the ex Welsh miners who are digging new tunnels for the London Underground and Venn the owner of the Pomegranate Seed club. Very little on stage violence and Sister Agnes' battles with obedience to her Order make this a gripping novel.
