Claire, Darling

Callie Kazumi

Callie Kasumi has written a unique suspense novel with realistic characters and unpredictable outcomes. The reader views the player, our protagonist, and her perspective via journal entries and flashbacks until the reader can hardly wait for the riveting endgame. Some might say that the outcome is predictable, but I am not one. This book, which I read in three days, was undoubtedly outstanding. I would have finished sooner if other tasks had not impeded me. The book reminded me of one or two others in the genre.  However, Kasumi, the writer, was very flexible and made this mystery a psychological suspense novel. The book is something to put on all readers' lists and is an excellent introduction to the thriller and suspense genre.
