Black for Remembrance

Summary: Great storytelling, good story
Review: This is the first book I have read by this author. It is a story about a woman whose daughter is kidnapped when the child is 5 and murdered. Her decapitated, burnt body is discovered and Caroline's(her mother)world, including her marriage falls apart.

Fast forward 25 some odd years later and Caroline has remarried, she has a loving husband, a fine strapping young teenage son and a beautiful 8 year old daughter. Her life has come together and her wounds have healed over somewhat until while alone in the warehouse of an interior designer who is a friend of hers, Caroline hears her dead daughter Hayley call out to her, 'mommy, mommy I need you.' Carolines world is rocked off it's axis. Not long after, Twinkle, Hayleys stuffed clown which Caroline made for her, turns up in Caroline's house and a note along with a black silk orchid is placed on Hayleys grave, the note reading, 'To Hayley...Black for remembrance.'

Soon others in Caroline's life start dying and Hayley is always present when it happens. To make matters worse, Caroline's 8 year old daughter, Melinda, befriends Hayley and has phone conversations with her. Is Caroline losing her mind or has her dead child returned?

The book was an enjoyable one, although the ending was revealed a little prematurely for my taste. It was an exciting, pulse pounding story. I had a hard time putting the book down. The book is not long, 322 pages, but it's not bogged down with any unnecessary filler. Thompson gets right to the story and sticks with the point. I like that in a book. Give it a try, I highly recommend it.

Summary: One of the best thrillers that I've ever read!
Review: This is the first Carlene Thompson book that I've ever read, but i am going out on payday to find others. The story kept me wanting to read it...I literally would have to force myself to go to bed/clean house/ect. I finished it in just a few days though. The ending had a wild twist. I have already recommended it to the girls on one of the BB I post on.

Summary: Awesome Suspense
Review: This was my first Carlene Thompson book. I loved it. I felt sad for the family whose daughter was murdered in a horrible way, at such a young age. However, their murdered daughter starts appearing only to the mother, and she hears the child's voice. Is it a ghost? Nobody believes her. They feel she still hasn't overcome the loss of her child. There's a real twist to it and it keeps you guessing. Definitely two thumbs up...
