Fans of Eileen Goudge give her novel Woman in Red good reviews. The plot sounds intense and reveiwers promise twists and turns - music to any reader's ears.
The book is priced at $4.71 today.
Description: A tender tale about love, family, honor, and justice, the story is set in two separate eras on a popular summer resort island within the gorgeous San Juan Island group near Seattle. The novel focuses on the interlocking lives of three families. In the present is the awkward lurching-toward-the-inevitable romance of Alice Kessler and Colin McGinty--both barely-hanging-on survivors of life's cruel injustices. In the past, some 60 years earlier during World War II, is the tender tragic love affair between Alice's grandmother, Eleanor, and Colin's grandfather, the famous American realist painter, William McGinty. In both eras, these two families are shattered by events with mysterious ties back to a third family. Here corruption runs deep, power is all-important, and greed is the name of the game. For decades, they have been one of the richest and most powerful families on the island--this is the family of the current mayor, Owen White.
I like a mystery every so often. . . . and I know some folks like their mysteries intense, on the edge, out of the ordinary, and all over the map. This book may be exactly what you are craving.
The Mayor's Tongue by Nathaniel Rich takes place in Italy and New York. Two stories run throughout the book. One reviewer stated that the story was unique enough to keep them reading and wanting . . . more.
This book is cheap - priced at $2.65.
