One of my dear friends at work is obsessed with all things Nicci French, so she passed along one of her favorite books for me to try out, "What To Do When Someone Dies". Though I do enjoy a mystery suspense novel every now and then, this one wasn't really my thing. It was interesting and definitely kept my attention, I just wasn't all that crazy about it.
Description: 'This is not my world. Something is wrong, askew. . . I am Ellie Falkner, thirty-four years old and married to Greg Manning. Although two police officers have just come to my door and told me he is dead . . . '
It's devastating to hear that your husband has died in a horrific car accident. But to learn that he died with a mystery woman as his passenger is torment. Was Greg having an affair?
Drowning in grief, Ellie clings to Greg's innocence, and her determination to prove it to the world at large means she must find out who Milena Livingstone was and what she was doing in Greg's car. But in the process those around her begin to question her sanity and motive. And the louder she shouts that Greg must have been murdered, the more suspicion falls on Ellie herself.
Sometimes it's safer to keep silent when someone dies.
Rating: ***
Recommend: If you're already familiar with Nicci French, then you'll probably really enjoy it. But if you want a super awesome intense suspense thriller - I would go with anything Chevy Stevens. Just my two cents worth.
