Description
So Much Pretty by Cara Hoffman is a literary crime novel about the disappearance and murder of nineteen-year-old Wendy White in a rural community where silence and denial conceal more than anyone wants to admit. The story examines not only the fear of what might happen to a child, but the more disturbing possibility that a child could become capable of harming someone else.
The investigation unfolds through the perspectives of journalist Stacy Flynn and other characters, each with their own secrets, beliefs and reasons for seeing Wendy’s disappearance differently. After Wendy’s body is found, Flynn becomes determined to expose the killer, drawing the attention of Alice Piper, a precocious local girl whose own story gradually becomes intertwined with Wendy’s.
A good choice for readers who enjoy literary crime fiction, psychological suspense, complex characters and mysteries that explore the darker sides of family and community life.
