Secrets of Eden: A Novel
What a great combination - Chris Bohjalian, one of my favorite authors and a literary mystery, one of my favorite genres! In Secrets of Eden, the book opens with Alice Hayward being baptized into a Vermont Baptist Church. The next morning, she and her husband are found dead. Is it a murder/suicide committed by an abusive and controlling husband? The story is told from several points of view, including the primary suspect and the detective on the case. As the mystery unfolded, my opinion and my sympathies kept on switching depending on who was narrating. The audio version is performed by different narrators for the different points of view. My theories on what really happened the night of the murder kept on changing all the way to the end. As always, Bohjalian's characters are well developed and very realistic. Definitely a good read for mystery and fiction lovers.
