A Mysterious Review of …
Tuesday's Gone by Nicci French. A Frieda Klein Mystery.
Review summary: The murder mystery in this crime novel, while quite compelling and of considerable interest, is actually a relatively minor plot point in this book, which seems to be a continuation of the first in the series. The situation is really quite unfortunate as (a) the storyline, brief as it is here, is well-structured and absolutely riveting; and (b) the characters are so well drawn that, like them or not, they are about as real and multi-dimensional as characters get in modern crime fiction.

A Frieda Klein Mystery
Viking (April 2013)
Publisher synopsis: A London social worker makes a routine home visit only to discover her client, Michelle Doyce, serving afternoon tea to a naked, decomposing corpse. With no clues as to the dead man's identity, Chief Inspector Karlsson again calls upon Frieda for help. She discovers that the body belongs to Robert Poole, con man extraordinaire. But Frieda can't shake the feeling that the past isn't done with her yet. Did someone kill Poole to embroil her in the investigation? And if so, is Frieda herself the next victim?
