Dead to Me

Product Information

Penned in the style of the Crime Noir genre, Caslin is a deep character, as flawed as he is brilliant, battling his own demons as much as those he is pitted against.

She is ashamed of herself and these feelings of inadequacy impact all the various relationships in her life. I read my first Lesley Pearse novel many years ago and after a break, I have found myself drawn to her more recent novels. I started reading and found that it actually started in London, not only that but across the road from where my parent's were born and a place I would go as a small child.

Much of the information the reader gleans about Annie is derived second-hand through the use of flashbacks and Alice’s recollections but, quite remarkably, there is no ambivalence or ambiguity as to the nature of Annie’s character. The two girls become estranged and the story follows their lives as they battle against war, family troubles and adversity. Please Note: All quotations included in this review have been taken from an advanced reader copy and therefore might be subject to change.Yes I know I’m being vague but like with all Lesley’s novels you really can’t know too much about them before reading as you have to get the build up and the understanding for yourself.

The story again picked up a gear during this period and coupled with a more sinister force made for a very gripping read where the reader is nervous as to how things can resolve themselves in the face of danger, greed and revenge. Having said that, would I recommend it, yes of course, it didn’t blow my mind but was very, very enjoyable, well worth my monthly credit and I eagerly look forward to her next book.She also neatly slipped in worldwide events ongoing at the time which had an impact on both the girls.
