by Gloria Davidson Marlow The best I can say is WOW! I have known Ms. Marlow for the past few years and found this read extremely over and above what I though was possible. She has a definite gift for storytelling and uses her words masterfully and very carefully to weave just the story that will leave a person breathless. It is a very tightly written murder mystery that will have you glued to your seat trying to outsmart the killer and to save the victims of this plot. And it will leave you clueless as to the identity of the real killer until the very end of the book. The killer certainly wasn't the person I figured it would be, and I have been reading mysteries for most of my adult life. Very well done, Gloria. I am so proud to know you, and I really didn't know you had it in you, my friend. Your future will be shining brightly soon. Ms. Marlow has written two other books, titled The Butterfly Game, and Shades Of Silence, both of which I can't wait to read now. Flowers for Megan was her first attempt at writing for public consumption and, since I know that, I will rightly assume her two following books will be even that much better. She set the bar very high for a first attempt, and more books will surely follow with equally high ability and standards. Megan comes home from an end of school - late summer swimming party to find blood in the bedroom, and her older sister, niece, and nephew staring at her with sightless eyes. Megan goes deep into a breakdown and a very deep shell. She hides her true emotions even from herself for many years, until her one true love comes back to town and finds her and himself both involved in mayhem. This story takes you on a breathless, fast-paced run to find out who is doing this to Megan and why. You want to know the answers quickly to prevent any more murders. You have to know the answers so that Megan can live her life. And the person who is doing this to Megan is someone she knows and trusts with her life. That makes it all the more important to find out why it is happening. A very beautifully put together and well-written book. It is a book that will stay in your mind and heart long after you have finished it. |
