Voice Out of Darkness [Large Print]

Voice recreates 1946 small town, post war America in December. Katie is stalked by an anonymous letter writer accusing her of murder - the accidental drowning of her foster sister when they were children. Curtiss recreates the nosiness of small town America. One woman feels it is early too decorate her shop for Christmas - in early December! The characters are believeable: Katie the young career woman from New York City, her childhood boyfriend now engaged to the witness to the accidental drowning, Katie's fiance, and a mild mannered detective who reminds the reader of a young LIeutenant Columbo, quiet but capable and not to be underestimated. Curtiss creates a neatly interwoven set of characters during a New England winter. As the cold and snow increase, so do the murders. Keeps the reader guessing to the very end. Great climactic scene when Katie realizes the identity of the killer who realizes HIS error...
