1 post | 7 read | 5 to read
After a mysterious fall from his Manhattan apartment, Philip Chase has moved home with his mother, Charlene, a bitter woman who has never fully accepted the death ofher younger son, Ronnie, five years earlier. Numb from watching too much TV and trading snipes with his mother, Philip is in stasis. But everything changes one winter night when Ronnie's high school girlfriend shows up on their doorstep to deliver the news that she is pregnant ... and the father, she claims, is Ronnie. So begins the startling tale as Philip and his mother confront Melissa's past and their own. Their search for answers takes them on an emotional journey, placing them in the path of murder and revenge. At once a moving story of redemption and a heart-stopping work of suspense, Strange but True brings to life a cast of characters that no reader will soon forget. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

I read this years ago after attending the author‘s talk, and I liked it! Lisa Scottoline introduced him, and the story had a local connection. Just saw that it is being made into a movie! #orangeandblack #hallowreads

ValerieAndBooks Local connection? Stacking! 7y
