Judas Child (Paperback, New edition)


Sadie Green's purple bicycle was found abandoned at the bus stop. Then her friend, Gwen, disappeared, which led the police to propose a runaway theory to the press. But State Police Investigator Rouge Kendall wasn't convinced. On a barstool in Dame's tavern, where Kendall spent a little too much time, he remembered his own mother, begging for the life of his twin sister, Susan.

That was fifteen years ago. And a man had been imprisoned for that murder - a priest, barely in his twenties. Father Paul Marie continued to proclaim his innocence. And current events might prove that he was telling the truth, that someone else might be responsible for all three crimes... Taut, menacing, intensely felt, Carol O'Connell's fifth novel reveals a total mastery of her craft.

This is a truly fantastic book. If you're thinking about buying or reading it - stop thinking and do it !! Carol O'Connell has created a unique tale. The characters are never two dimensional and it is a complete cast, rather than a single character supporting the story. Although the plot twists and turns, taking you to dark and lonely places, it never looses you. And to me this is Carol O'Connell's true success. She has created an intelligent and thoughtful read, right to the last page without seeming to try too hard. You want to follow her through the maze and while you may be afraid of what lies in the shadows you will be compelled to go on. A book that is more enjoyable to read than read about, so off you go, click that Purchase button and have fun.
