Before I found you- Daisy White-4*

Some friends returning home after a night out find a young girl on the beach

shouting at at the waves  “Come back” but there is no-one that they can see.

They rescue her as she is in danger of being swept away however she won’t

say another word.  Ruby works in a hairdressers with her best friend Mary

whom she also shares a bedsit with along with Mary’s baby. A woman comes

in who has been in prison for 10 years. Her daughter disappeared and although

a body was never found, bloodstained clothing was and she was charged

accordingly. Now she wants Ruby to try and find her daughter and who set her up.

Set in the 1960’s this brings a refreshing change to the world of mobiles and

internet access. When phone boxes were used and if you wanted to know

anything then it was either a friend of a friend or the library. A network of

friends and acquaintances prove invaluable to Ruby’s investigation bureau.

A well written book to take you back if you are a certain age- or to maybe

enlighten you if you are not! We did manage without today’s technology

and maybe even communicated on a more personal level. A different time.

A very enjoyable read.
