Editorial Reviews

Pretty Karen Boland, found beaten and suffocated in the woods, lived a secretive, insecure, and unhappy life for most of her 16 years. As the belligerent police look for a motive in the case, they question Boland's cousin, her classmates, her stepfather, and her middle-aged, sometime lover. The more they uncover, the more they learn about the complications surrounding Karen's life. Page renders the sticky, far-reaching plot, detailed English village atmosphere, and well-defined bit players with practiced skill and ingenuity. Solid and traditional fare for British fans.
