Welcome to Litsy!

I read so many books by Peter Abrahams in high school, but I think this was my favorite of them. #TBTReads

Ivy is a struggling author who takes a gig teaching creative writing in a prison. She believes one of her students to be a brilliant writer; he‘s also a remorseless killer. Ivy isn‘t sure she believes that it‘s possible to be a good writer and a bad man. The last sentence (6 words) chilled me and changed my perspective on the whole story.

Now THIS is a damned good Abrahams book!
I fell in love with Peter Abrahams about 15 years ago. But I lost track of him. When I started to catch up, the newer books just weren‘t as good. And then he started writing for kids.
I still dig up his older books when I can, & I came across this one in a few months ago. It‘s modern noir, with twists just out of your periphery, leading up to a crash. I‘d recommend this one to anyone who likes suspense.
