Search - The Sculptress

I liked it a lot. Not as "black and white,good-guy,bad-guy" as some murder mysteries. At the end I was still saying "Hmm?" and thinking it through. A good book.

Olive sits in prison for a long time, after brutally killing her mother and sister. Her reason: They did not give her a proper birthday party, and had forever been teasing her about her weight. Roz is an author, compelled by her publisher to write something or be dropped from her list. She reluctantly agrees to write a story about Olive. But the more she finds out about the murders the more she doubts Olive's guilt - despite the fact that Olive had confessed to the murders. Why were there no fingerprints of Olive's at the crime scene, but her shoe prints were all over it? Why did she not recount any details of the murders in her confession? And why did the neighbors move away, without a forwarding address, after the murders?

This is a great story, the characters are well sculpted (ahem :-) , and the plot is intriguing.

Really enjoy this author! Loved the book! Have to admit that I pondered on the ending to this book for quite some time. Worth the read if you ask me!
