Review written by Maggie Perkovic and read live on the bookshow on 26th Feb 2015
I have always been a fan of this
author's books and this one is another cracker.
Jenna Metcalf was with her
mother the night she disappeared, but she remembers
nothing. At thirteen
Jenna reads and re reads her mother's journals hoping to find
a clue in the
meticulous recording of her scientific research on elephants.
Using her
savings Jenna employs a private detective and a psychic hoping
something will
come to light. What happens is a gripping and fascinating
story of a woman
who loved her little girl dearly, whose husband, a brilliant
and dedicated
elephant carer whose mind is starting to imagine strange
and unlikely
scenarios, changing from a sensible human being to an unknown
quantity. There
is betrayal and a sense of loss through out and an in depth
knowledge of
elephants. The denoument is startling. Very good. Maggie Perkovic
