About this ebook

The third installment in the popular Jennie McGrady mystery series

Allison Beaumont is beautiful, popular, wealthy, and she's just been crowned the Rose Festival Princess. But when dead roses begin arriving on her doorstep and threatening phone calls follow, Allison realizes she's paying a high price for her throne.

Jennie McGrady has only one goal in life: to find her father. But Allison's plea for help tears Jennie away from her search and involves both of them in a dangerous race to hunt down the Portland stalker.

Rocky is the Beaumonts' handsome gardener, but with no dirt on his hands and a lot on his character, Jennie's wondering if Rocky's interested in something other than flowers.

Something sinister is going on.

    Other than knowing it was set in 1930s Britain, I had little idea what this book would be like as a read. I chose it because of its title and its classification as a Penguin Modern Classic. I half expected it to be along the lines of the Thirty-nine Steps, it isn't. Marjorie is trapped in a stultifying marriage to a man who mistreats her. Had he chosen not to mistreat her sister even more cruelly, Marjorie is to type of character who would have waited for the course of time to free her from Ted.But this isn't a domestic tale of disappointed dreams. As the blurb describes it, The Pursued is a dark, twisted tale of murder, lust and retribution. Sex and murder drive this story, yet both are kept very firmly in the background. This is a character driven tale, not action driven.The story is told from the viewpoint of each of the protagonists. We move from the innermost thoughts of one character to the innermost thoughts of the next. This is a very clever storytelling device, allowing us to know what the characters think is going to happen next. The suspense comes from discovering whether events unfold as the characters believe, and what ramifications follow. This is a story of consequences, a slowly paced, yet page turning psychological drama, with the most unlikely conspirator. Definitely a modern classic.Nina Jon is the author of the newly released Magpie Murders, a series of short murder mysteries with a Cluedo-esque element.She is also the author of the Jane Hetherington's Adventures in Detection crime and mystery series, about private detective Jane Hetherington.
