Nine years ago, two teenage girls
are kidnapped and brutally assaulted by a member of their own community.
When the perpetrator is suddenly paroled, the whole community is in shock.
Klee James had sworn she would make him pay for his crimes. Does she follow
through on this promise? Or does someone else, with a different motive, take
matters into his or her own hands?
Review Quotes
"This is very assured writing, particularly for
a first novel. The plotting is rich, the characters realistic and realized,
and the details of police investigative procedure slotted in nicely. They
never overwhelm the story but help to move it long. And the ending is really
artful."
The Telegram
"Murder
in the Cove (Flanker Press, $16.95) by Newfoundland writer Kathleen
Farthing is a gritty mystery embellished by moments of fleeting humour."
The New Glasgow News
"The suspense and uncertainty
swirling around these disturbing events in Blackhead Cove -
a place where nothing ever happens - make this novel a real
page-turner right to the end, when it all comes together in
a shocking final result."
Downhome
"Farthing’s writing is crisp, her
descriptions never labored, and the dialogue realistic
and fiery." The Western Star
