Product Description

Review

'Uncommonly engaging...zestful and involving' - Literary Review


Product Description

It's the count down to Christmas and Sal Kilkenny is exhausted even just thinking about the festive season - so when she is asked to investigate a seemingly straightforward suicide, she turns the case down. But eventually persuaded, against her better judgement, to help the family trace their mothers' last hours, Sal is ashamed to realise how little the authorities had bothered to investigate and starts to have her own suspicions about the death. Why would a woman so petrified of heights choose to jump from the top of Manchester's Arndale Centre car park? Written with beautiful attention to the nuances of everyday life, Towers of Silence is an emotionally involving journey into the heart of a city hiding dark secrets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Manchester noir, 27 Aug 2002
By Dr. Sn Cottam "Steve the medic" (Preston, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In the stressful and busy countdown to Christmas, Sal Kilkenny, Manchester PI and single parent, is asked to re-open the apparantly hopeless case of a black woman who fell to her death from a central Manchester multi-story car park. Against her judgement that she can add nothing to the official investigation, Sal takes the case and a trail of dark secrets and murder opens up...At the same time, deception and lies of a different type are at the root of the subplot case, involving an apparantly truculent teenager bunking off college whose worried mother asks Sal to investigate.

This is an enjoyable and well-told tale of ordinary people's lives set against an authentic Manchester background with a likeable and resourceful heroine.

Recommended...enjoy!
