A Thought-Provoking Supernatural Mystery
Review by Kim Cantrell
Chief Police Superintendent Frankford Lucas is a force with not to be reckoned.
He runs a tight ship in his department and when innocent people begin to be murdered, he expects his detectives to work hard and fast.
But there is a secret that Chief Lucas is holding close. At night when he sleeps, he witnesses the murders one by one.
If finding “murder trophies” from these vicious crimes in his home after he awakes isn’t enough, then visits from those murdered are enough to make Chief Lucas doubt his own sanity.
As information about the killer begins to become more clear, those around Chief Lucas will find that he is indeed quite a force with which not to tangle – a supernatural force that even he can’t control.
Allow me to introduce you to new author, Annie Frame. Writing fictional British mysteries with a supernatural spin comes naturally to this clairvoyant medium; obvious with the nice, even flow of her writing with a supernatural depth that will leave the most skeptic of readers pondering about the spirit world.
Within the first few chapters, The Quiet Road quickly became a book that I had difficulty putting down.
I enjoy a book that really engages my thinking, and that is exactly what I got with The Quiet Road, while I still had the “brain candy” of fiction, I suddenly found myself pondering the invisible battle between good and evil here among the living.
The Quiet Road is actually the second of Frame’s books. I was so intrigued by her second book, I’m eagerly delving into the first.
