A Quiet Belief in Angels - RJ Ellory

Good Day

Be amazed at the speed at which this post has been posted.

This last book was excellent and one we would all recommend you read. There were quite a lot of unanswered questions but I thought this made the book all the more interesting. We did discuss it more than any other book we have read.

Pippa
Would have liked the ending to give more closure.

If you think you wont enjoy a crime novel, then think again!



Synopsis from Amazon
Joseph Vaughan's life has been dogged by tragedy. Growing up in the 1950s, he was at the centre of series of killings of young girls in his small rural community. The girls were taken, assaulted and left horribly mutilated. Barely a teenager himself, Joseph becomes determined to try to protect his community and classmates from the predations of the killer. Despite banding together with his friends as ' The Guardians', he was powerless to prevent more murders - and no one was ever caught. Only after a full ten years did the nightmare end when the one of his neighbours is found hanging from a rope, with articles from the dead girls around him. Thankfully, the killings finally ceased. But the past won't stay buried - for it seems that the real murderer still lives and is killing again. And the secret of his identity lies in Joseph's own history...

We ate at The Ferry Inn at Stone on the Marsh.

The food was ok. Nice to see the locals drinking in it. Not sure the pudding was homemade as they said as Pippa found a piece of plastic in it which looked very much like packaging - home heated possibly.



Working out the bill...





Love to you all

Kate

Yes, this was a good read - of course it was I chose it!

Bit nervous of feathers now, especially the white kind.
