It jumped around a bit too much, with the only thing tying the threads being Jude’s personal issues.Īre we investigating Jude’s abduction or the dead girl? Or the head in the helmet? Like what’s the deal with her father and brother? I was engaged with the mystery, but not as much as I was with their interactions and Jude’s interaction with life itself. It was captivating and gripping.Īt times, the plot felt a bit disconnected as I couldn’t see how the crimes were going to mesh together. Ashby, as well as Jude’s undeniable strength and character development, are what really made this novel for me. I think Frasier pulled that off with flying colours. Her trauma and recovery have to be believable, yet on pace with the rest of the book so you don’t feel bogged down with “personal issues”. And this starting point requires that the plot elements, and secondary characters, have some A+ development. She has no sense of humour, she is flat and unemotional.
(Sleeping on the roof, for instance.) Everything about Jude is switched off after her return. She sees everything in the world with new eyes, including herself.Ĭlawing her way back to some semblance of stable mental health, Jude goes back to work as a Homicide detective, while trying to find new ways to just be alive. She’s been subjected to unknown tortures and horrors. Jude Fontaine makes a daring escape after 3 years in captivity at the hands of a psychopath. I will definitely be moving those books closer to the top of the pile.ĭet. I’ve never read anything by Anne Frasier before, though I do have a few of her books on my TBR. There are so many layers to the story, to the mystery. Filed Under: If a roller coaster was an onion.
