"This is a gripping psychological thriller; it’s narrated by the adult
Christine, looking back through the years, applying an adult’s sense of
morality and judgment to the actions of her younger
self. The debut novel of a veteran short story writer and the mother of genre superstar Megan Abbott,Concrete Angel will draw fans of the late Ruth Rendell as well as readers of Paula
Hawkins’ The Girl on the Train (2015). It might make a very good movie
too if the casting were right.

ReplyDeleteVERY nice, indeed. Congrats on that.
ReplyDeleteComparison to Ruth Rendell and "mother of genre fiction superstar"! Now if only Hollywood would come nibbling with a big check!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on the great review!
Yeah, some days are good ones. On the other hand, our Internet is not working right, my knee is still sprained, and people keep telling me they can't come to the signing for one reason or another. So it's never all good news, is it?
ReplyDeleteGreat news Patti! And well deeserved!
ReplyDeletePatti, you do realize, don't you, that the people who can't come to the signing for whatever reason will be telling their children, grandchildren, and/or psychiatrists, "Dang, I could have been there. That's the biggest regret in my life!"
ReplyDeleteAnother reminder that I have back issues of BOOKLIST waiting for me.
ReplyDeleteMazel tov, Patti!
