The Girl in White- John Nicholl-Crime
Harry has just received a text from his girlfriend to say “it’s ended” and that she is
now going travelling with her new man. Harry who suffers depression is
understandably rather upset. When a young lady approaches him in a bar a short
time later he is suspicious as he isn’t that lucky. What does she want? After a while
he relaxes a little and then realises that he was right. What is this strange community
she told him about and why have they brought him there?Who is “the master”?
Most of all, they won’t let him leave. DI Laura Kesey is contacted by Harry’s mother
knowing her from a yoga class. Harry is in touch most days and she hasn’t seen or
heard from him in over a week- something is very wrong. As ever with Johns books
you quickly get into the plot and a feel for the characters- for me this is skillful
writing that I enjoy. I quickly felt for Harry and his predicament and Laura for her
tenaciousness. This is a fairly short novel but still has that grip and that punch
that John gives with all of his books. A highly enjoyable read
