Trespassers

Antoinette describes her harassment by the men on the murder squad.  She stays tough through it all.  Then, back to the murder.  Our victim had a tough childhood.  No father, and then she had to be the caretaker for mom. She only emerges when her mother dies. Rory, her would-be boyfriend and the first suspect, is impressed with her elegance.  There is a chance that she has another boyfriend, may be a criminal.  Also, her best friend Lucy might be hiding something.

I've reached the point where Rory is being interrogated by Breslin and Antoinette.  Nice description of team work to get at facts.  Steve, A.'s partner, watches from outside. Good tnsion between Breslin and A.  Lurking in the background is the reporter Crowley (Creepy Crowley) who seems to have a source inside the police department and who also seems to have it in for Antoinette.  More coming on this, for sure.  

Great tone, great voice for Antoinette.  (1st person novel.)  I really liked Into the Woods and I'm enjoying this every bit as much.

He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
