ABOUT THE BOOK
The novel opens with the sudden disappearance of Alesha, a globetrotting journalist.Her Feisty photo journalist daughter Kal Medi sensing something very wrong ,sets out to find her mother and in her dangerous single headed pursuit, aided by her best friends LeeMing and Marty,comes face to face with some stomach churning truths and a sinister nexus.
The character of Kal Medi has been compared to Lisbeth Salamander of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” but I think Salamander was more emotionally vulnerable and dark.
Ann uses her professional degree of Psychotherapy to her advantage , giving a glimpse into the mind of a criminal.
From the first chapter itself the book has an edgy quality, keeping you on tenterhooks and anxious to get on to the next page, in fact sometimes the waiting would actually get too tortuous and I think it is done on purpose as the author wants you to feel the same tension that Kal is going through.But as Kal says in the Chapter 2 of this book, “frustration gives me indigestion …”
Well I too suffered along with the characters in teeth biting suspense of what next !
But too much of a good thing is also bad because some passages involving action were so tedious that I had to skip them.I think this book will benefit from some slick editing.
The novel also has a sub plot of self-discovery where Kal tries to settle her own internal demons and make peace with her past.
I look forward to the next adventure of Kal Medi with DI Spinks and her best friend Marty though it is nowhere in the league of the Millenium series but definitely makes for a riveting read.

ReplyDeleteHmmm. First time to see that book. I'd check if it is available in the bookstore and probably buy a copy.
ReplyDeleteKal's mother disappears and she is drawn into a search for her, using unique skills taught to her by her father before he died. Kal believes her mother's disappearance is related to death threat messages her family has been receiving for years. Following clues left by her mother, Kal' s search takes her to India, where a bio-tek company is developing next generation medical devices using orphaned children with birth defects as test subjects for their research and development, under the guise of philanthropy. As Kal digs deeper, she uncovers a vast network of wealthy, powerful conspirators who will stop at nothing to protect their evil exploitation of helpless children, as well as the secrets behind her father's life, the "training" he insisted she learn, the mystery of his death, her mother's disappearance, and the vendetta against her family. This one kept me up reading all night!
