The beginning of the first look of this book intrigued me. We meet Jim who works in security in a supermarket. He appears bored until his eye catches a book title. The reader is alerted to the fact that Jim has a past which no-one in the store is aware of. He is a murderer and the book on the shelf is about a murder which he knew all about.
The book by Eve Black is about how she managed to survive the brutal murder of her family by a man which the newspapers called The Nothing Man. Why has Eve decided to write this book now, more than twenty years after the event? What has she been doing in the time since the murder of her family.
This story is really two stories in one. One one hand there is Jim, the murderer, who has evaded capture after committing several abhorrent murders. One the other hand is Eve, the survivor, how did she survive the last 20 years and why did she now write about her past.
Catherine Ryan Howard has woven a murder mystery which is a compelling read.
