Oh my goodness! Caroline, the main character, sure has some problems to work through. Part one, takes us through some of Caroline’s turmoil. I have to say I was a bit confused for a minute while I was reading Caroline’s story, as it is told mostly in narrative form … sort of like Caroline telling her side of events. Caroline, I found, to be an interesting lady. She has her problems, but by part two of her tale she was beginning to see things a bit more clearly and the answers she found … she sure wasn’t expecting them.
Mary, Caroline’s next-door neighbor. Bless her. She was
seemingly looking out for Caroline, but her way of going about that, to
Caroline, seemed a bit off. You’ll have to read the book to find out why. In
the end, though, things came together and Caroline finally understood what Mary
tried to do for her.
Tim, Caroline’s soon-to-be ex-husband. He’s one of those
characters you want to like and empathize with, but you can’t because of who he
turns out to be.
The big question for Caroline was – did she see what she
thought she saw? And, if she did, who did it?
This is the author’s debut novel. While it was told mostly
in the narrative form, I enjoyed it. I liked all the ups and downs Caroline had
to go through while she was investigating an event that to her was very real,
but to others seemed farfetched. Caroline suffers from some pretty serious mental
health issues, which may be triggering for some, but she also had to accept some
very hard truths that she was struggling with.
While she was playing amateur detective, she also found an
inner strength that she didn’t know she had. This is something I appreciate in
a female character. She may not have started out quite so strong in the
beginning through her struggles, but she proved to herself, and to Tim, how
strong she really was. Oh … and wait until you read about the plan Mary cooked
up in the end.
