Some Choose Darkness
She’s talented. Perhaps it all started when she was younger and her great aunt showed her how to repair porcelain dolls or it’s her own strict attention to detail, Rory is great at her job. As a forensic reconstructionist, Rory gives everything she has, when she is working. It begins with the task of restoring a porcelain doll which belongs to a grieving father and extends to Rory tending to her father’s affairs after his death. Rory attention to detail, investigation and competition extends to all aspects of her life, no matter the outcome.
Reconnecting with her great aunt in a new environment, Rory uses the toy to try to reconnect her great aunt to the real world. The simple closing of her father’s business, after his death, turns into a major undertaking as she uncovers some information about her father. Where exactly that puts Rory now that she is part of her father’s business is another question she has to consider?
I thought this was a fast read and I couldn’t put it down/stop thinking about it after I got about halfway through it. I liked the twists and turns that this novel provided in the second half. I enjoyed the characters and I liked that Rory felt like a normal, everyday person. I enjoyed the drama. I couldn’t get too comfortable, as something would change in the novel and I would have to readjust my thinking. This is my first novel by this author but I am looking forward to more by Charlie.
I received a copy of this novel from Kensington Publishing Co. in exchange for an honest opinion. - thank you!
