Here's what readers have to say about this book....
A definite page-turner. Two mysteries entwined with Gina Gray’s on-going relationship with the Detective Superintendent, along with another relationship beautifully handled. The subsidiary characters are fully brought life with great economy of words. This is the first of Penny Freedman’s Gina Gray series I have read. I found Gina to be as she describes herself: impatient and self-centred, to which I add acerbic and opinionated, to such an extent that I disliked her from very early on. Because her life has been turned upside-down by an event which has produced a double shock – the event itself and her emotional discoveries. Whilst I will start reading at the beginning of the series, I especially look forward to a future novel to see how a young Freda Gary, GG’s granddaughter, blossoms. How much will she be a “Chip off the block”?
It is September 2022. The Queen is dead, and the UK government is in turmoil, the economy close to collapse.
Normally, opinionated Gina Gray would have plenty to say, but she is grappling with her own despair: A dark moon is rising; the world has shrunk to the inside of her head.
So, when her sixteen-year-old granddaughter, Freda, doing a weekend job as a chambermaid at a scientific conference in a local college, finds an eminent professor dead in his bed, Gina has no energy for detective work, but when the police start to follow a trail that leads back into her own past, she faces a desperate moral dilemma.
It is Freda, caught up in her own investigation and finding herself at risk, who shakes Gina out of her apathy and into action – to protect Freda and to avenge a very personal crime.
