Here are six book recommendations to spice up your summer
No one associates Denise Mina with togetherness and, after reading, it’s clear why they don’t. In a long lifetime of reading, I don’t ever recall a more disastrous vacation than the one true-crime podcaster Anna McDonald arranges for her convoluted blended family and her partner, Fin Cohen, and his girlfriend. They are in the boondocks with no decent roads, the internet is out and the weather is godawful. Add to that the whining of Fin’s girlfriend and you have the perfect recipe for disaster.
Cleo Li comes to on the side of a B.C. highway with no idea who she is and how she got there. The RCMP quickly identify her but that’s all they have to say at the time. Cleo has a younger brother, Cass, and when he shows up, she discovers that her parents have disappeared. They were last seen close to the road where Cleo was found and her mother was carrying a winning lottery ticket for $47-million. More than enough motive for all kinds of foul play.
Ware is excellent at setting up the framework for the story to come, or rather, the story that was. The chapters switch from after to before and we are introduced to Hannah, the comprehensive school student who, on her first day, is swept into the orbit of April and her friends, with their public school pasts, their money and sophistication, and April, the clever leader with her mystique and her endless energy.
