Two months into my freelance writing adventure and I haven't managed to keep good on my promise to myself to update this blog regularily. Instead I have been babysitting and reading excellent books (yes, I've been writing too). Just finished reading "A Traitor To Memory"
by one of my favorite authors, Elizabeth George. It's a not quite classic murder mystery following the efforts of Inspector Lynley and his partner Barbara Havers as they try to track down a murderous driver. The case centers around a violin prodigy and a toddler's murder twenty years ago. Not everything in the book is written in chronological order, but in a way this serves to try your memory and put you in the same frame of mind as Gideon, the violin prodigy. I enjoyed the fact that I was guessing who done it right along with Lynley and Havers as new facts come to light, memories are discovered, and stories are discovered to be false. The ending was disturbing and left me with more questions, but I think that is the point. I can't say much more without giving too much away. If you are a mystery fan like me, pick up some Elizabeth George.
