Curiosity can be a killer.
The clock begins to tick on Anneliese’s moral compass as the sleuth-psychiatrist delves deeper into London’s social dregs – encountering a playbook too subversive for her tastes. While Isabel belittles the idea of jealousy Charles Anthony views his obsession as a Jezebel. Susanna’s (other) indiscretions are hard-pressed to rest in peace as torments old and new distort her life. Headmaster Richard on the other hand sparks strife when he reviles his troublesome subordinate… again.
Repression treads with clumsy thumps on both the sisters’ souls in this suspicion-rousing feast of silent dreams: a gallery of scintillating scenes where passion and possessiveness still lurk beneath the surface.
Envy, pride, wrath and desire light a fire in The Crooked Little Pieces: Volume 4: the part inviting you to pick your poison.
Thanks to the author and publisher for this copy of The Crooked Little Pieces: Volume 4.
It picked up from where it has left off in volume 3, with both Anneliese and Isabel single again. The former so obsessed with her client, CA Remington and the latter looking for a new challenge. Anneliese's mentor, Susana, is still in denial and Isabel's headmaster, Richard, has moved on. With the story alternating between the sister's plots, it is easy to read and navigate through their lives.
It truly is a sibling saga of their own accord with a mix of Downtown Abbey and Dynasty, in my opinion, hence like a soap opera :-) I guess in another term, it is a family drama. I am amazed that at volume 4, the author is still able to weave more meat into the story, going in and out with the different point of views and plots. So much has happened and yet, with more to come too!
