Nicci French’s
7th book in the Frieda Klein series is out and Kerry Hammond is here
to tell us all about it. My Mom also read the book and loved it.
London-based
Psychotherapist Frieda Klein is back in her 7th book, Sunday Silence
by Nicci French. It releases on January 9 from William Morrow Publishers in
Trade Paperback. The series is written by a British husband and wife team,
Nicci Gerard and Sean French, and they have been keeping readers on the edge of
their seats with twists and turns since the first book to feature Frieda, Blue
Monday.
In Sunday Silence, Frieda is immediately placed on the police radar
when a body is found buried underneath the floorboards of her house. She
believes she knows who the perpetrator is, a man who has killed before and is
strangely obsessed with her. The problem is, this man supposedly died years
before and the police refuse to believe Frieda when she tells them he is still
alive. As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that Frieda is facing
not one but two obsessive killers. But it’s not Frieda who seems to be in
danger, rather it’s each and every person she loves.
Frieda is a
great character and I have always found her fascinating. She is intelligent, resourceful,
and fiercely loyal to her friends and family. She approaches things in a calm
and calculating manner, always analyzing the situation rather than losing her
head. She is able to see what the police can’t and is always far ahead of them
in solving the murder, but she struggles with trying to convince them that her
analysis is the correct one. This is great series and I would recommend that
any new reader start with the first book in order to get to know the characters
and best follow the progression of the storyline.
This book was provided to Mystery Playground by the
publisher. The review is fair and independent.
