Deadly Grace

Rating:
Summary: Slow at first but it definitely gets interesting
Review: There was a lot of superfluous information that made the book longer than it had to be. It was a little slow at the beginning- hinting at the mysteries surrounding the woman who has been at the scene of several deaths. After about a third of the book the plot starts to pick up and there are A LOT of twists and turns that makes it all worth it. I didn't even guess at the depth of the characters and the evil that some people will commit. I definitely recommend this book for anyone seeking a mystery worthy of some time and thought.

Review: This wasn't as good as The Best Of Enemies, but it was still high on the good reading shelf.
However the book starts out with everything in modern day (1979)
January when Grace Meade is found murdered in her home that is rapidly burning.
the primary suspect is her own daughter Jillian, because two women in Europe were murdered in the same fashion, not long after meeting with Jillian.(?!)
Ok so the heroine is the main suspect in a triple murder case
she tries to kill herself
she is put in the Psichiatric ward of a hospitial and given a journal to write in
this is when it starts to get confusing
every other chapter is told in her (Jillian's) perspective
so it's like this
chapter five ~ January 1979
Chapter six ~ Jillian's journal (This is where we learn all the deep, dark, and sometimes deadly secrets of Grace Meade's life as a forger during WWII).
Chapter Seven~ Januray 1979
Chapter eight ~ Jillian's Journal
The entire book goes on like that from chapter five to the postscript after chapter 34.
All in all a good read but a little confusing with all of the side stories going on
sometimes difficult to keep all the facts straight
