Body
in the Bonfire A Faith Fairchild Mystery By Katherine Hall Page Harper Collins - 2002 ISBN: 0380978431 - Hardcover Mystery / Suspense/ Amateur Sleuth Reviewed
by: Barbara Buhrer, MyShelf.Com At Mansfield
Academy boarding school in a small town outside Boston When Sloane's body is found in the embers of the traditional bonfire, Daryl is the prime suspect, though many others are connected to the bigotry and hatred. Faith's own life is threatened before she can reach a conclusion. There are a number of issues dealt with here: racial prejudice, academic infighting and academic politics, all of which make for a fast moving, well-constructed story. There is no lack of characters, all of who are made very real with their prejudices and hatreds. A bonus to this excellent read is a section at the end of the book containing Faith's taste-tempting recipes. |
