This have been occurring quite often especially when it rains. Each time, the phone line and Internet line will be down for 5-6 hours.
And each time it rains, Mamarazzi would shoo shoo me to dreamland.
So that she could explore her world of delicious books.Recently she discovered this lovely book. "Consigned To Death" By Jane K Cleland.
It's about an antiques dealer called Josie Prescott who moves to the New Hampshire from New York, for a fresh start.
The reason for her move was due to her being the Whistle-blower on her boss price fixing scheme. Though she was in the right, despite her ethical stance and refused the 15 minutes limelight of giving interviews to nosey reporters, her colleagues treated her like a pariah.
Her boss was in the wrong but she was the one who was shunned.
Thus she came to New Hampshire for a fresh start. Haiz......mana tau once again she was thrown into the limelight. This time much worse. One of her potential client was murdered and there seems to be a conspiracy to frame her.
She was new to the area but lucky for her she made some reliable and trustworthy friends. Her lawyer, Max and Wes, surprisingly a reporter who believe in her innocent. Wes, also promise that he won't make use of her and publish her story without her go ahead.
Another promising thing is that there is a hint of romance or was it entrapment going on between her and Chief Alverez of the Police Force. Though her finger prints were on the murder weapon and someone had planted evidence pointing to her being the murderer, Chief Alverez did not arrest her. He goes on to investigate or seems to be doing that. Is he interested in her or just trying to give her rope to hang herself?
And the result..........................sendiri baca la...Mamarazzi don't wanna spoilt the ending for you all ler.
Overall, it was a very good mystery novel. No four letter words.
