“When I die, put me out with the bins. I'll be dead, so I won't know any different..."
When the time came...I followed his instructions."

—— and you are immediately drawn inside the life of Sally Diamond.

Another chilling and haunting psychological thriller that Liz Nugent has written; with complex characters that I throughly enjoyed. I could not stop listening to this. Following the story of Sally Diamond haunted by a traumatic yet forgotten past. The repressed memories and events of her childhood …more influence her personality, actions, and psychological well-being.

The novel shifts between various timelines and multiple narrators to unveil the mysteries of her past. Sally receives a gift in the mail that will bring in another theme running through this dark and twisted story.

Examining the dilemma of nature versus nurture and good vs. evil, making for one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long-time. Will a series or movie come from this…. I can only hope for. This is Liz Nugent at her best yet. (less)

Liz Nugent has written a family drama containing a totally original plot line and several disturbing twists with "Strange Sally Diamond." Sally is an extremely antisocial introvert at the age of forty-three and still lives with her adoptive elderly father. Why is she like this? The tale unfolds slowly as we get captured by the character, rooting for her to find a new safe and productive path.

Though it is easy to care about Sally, it is difficult to actually like her. Introverts might find a few connections with her behavior, but it is so hard to agree with her choice to both completely ignore the evidence about …more her family members and adhere to her own false narratives about them.

There are two perspectives for the reader to ponder, that of Sally and one of a boy from the past. How do these puzzle pieces interlock? This will definitely appeal to mystery fans in addition to those who like family stories. It is a strong piece of fiction and one readers will not regret choosing. (less)
