This is the second novel by Sheena Kamal. It’s about flawed heroine Nora Watts, who is approached by a man claiming to know her father, who had committed suicide when Nora was a child leaving her and her sister in foster care. All her troubles originated from what happened to her father so she starts investigating his past. She heads to Detroit in search of the truth behind his suicide but finds even more questions than answers. The plot includes a friend and mentor dying of cancer, a daughter given up for adoption, an estranged sister, a private investigator/retired cop and her faithful dog Whisper.
I don’t know whether I found this not an easy read due to the English/American divide but it was heavy going in parts. Not an enjoyable piece of escapism.
