Alice is the newcomer with reasons to seek revenge on one particular young resident and willing to murder others to achieve her goal. We know the villain from the start, but Cooper weaves her plot around the sneaky ways Alice starts up a bookclub then uses it to hunt down her victims. The original five friends all have secrets and Alice finds these out and uses them to her advantage. A shame Inspector Barnaby couldn’t get over with his trusty sergeant Ben Jones from Midsommer. I’m sure they could have stopped her.
A light read for the holidays perhaps?
Next month’s book is The Alchemist by Paul Coelho
