 reviewed The Office of the Dead on
It took a bit to get into this book. BUT, once I began to understand the characters especially Sally Applegate, one of the first women to become a reverand in the the Church of England, it became a "I gotta keep reading" book. It is a book filled with self-questioning, suspense, morality & especially fear of the final ending. AND the ending was so unexpected. Usually you can get a feeling of what it coming but with this book it has an ending that makes you say..."Wow, how did I miss that one?" Really liked The Last Four Things and am looking forward to reading "The Judgement of Strangers" which is the 2nd book of the Roth Trilogy.
