Debbie Chase

Author

I was intrigued by the twists and turns in this story. The writing is matter-of-fact, describing everyday events that culminate in a wonderfully unexpected ending.

I love the characters and, even though the main character is really not nice, I was drawn to him, realising that the influence of your parents, your upbringing, can affect who you are.

From Debbie's list on mystery books that keep you guessing.

Nora Gaskin

Author

In A Sight for Sore Eyes, the main character, Teddy is deeply flawed, damaged, and eventually damaging to people around him. Bad things happen and then he meets his end in a crazy accident that entombs him with the body of a woman he killed. He has created an elaborate pretense and the less imaginative and altogether normal people around him have bought into it, so no one realizes he is missing under mysterious circumstances. I recommend this book to any reader who believes human nature is the most mysterious and interesting thing in the world.

From Nora's list on noir and psychological suspense by women.
