Title: Horrifying to Uplifting
Product review: I listened to the CD version of this book on a long drive. It's the story of a family trying to cope with the death of 14-year-old daughter/sister Susie. Early on, the book is horrifying. But this isn't a depressing book. In fact, it is quite uplifting so see family members and friends deal with the tragedy and eventually pull together. If you're looking for a crime mystery that solves everything and provides complete closure, you probably won't like this book. That's because the crime solving part of the story is in the background for the most part. The major story line revolves around how the family and friends of the dead girl deal cope in the days, months and years after her murder. It's easy to quibble with some of the mangled metaphors and occasional shoddy writing. Still, I found the book a good listen, unlifting in the end.
