THE DARK END OF TOWN Author: Julia Pomeroy Published: May 23, 2006 by Carroll & Graf Series Name: An Abby Silvernale Mystery Category: Amateur sleuth Main Character: Abby Silvernale, Dulcie, Henry, Sean Abby has abandoned a brief career as a model in NYC to return with her new husband to Bantam, the small upstate New York town where they both grew up. When her husband dies unexpectedly, Abby tries to cope by going back to her old job waiting tables at the InnBetween, and by minding her own business and avoiding everyone else's... "A terrific debut by Julia Pomeroy who has written a swiftly moving, finely observed whodunit... I couldn't put it down!" —Peter Biskind, author of Easy Riders, Raging Bulls "This quietly effective debut shows how one woman's attempt to pick up the pieces after her husband's death takes her into uncharted waters, one seemingly innocuous incident at a time. But for Abby Silvernale, all it takes is some mysterious car pickups and dropoffs to propel her into a mess of murder, sexual liasons and secrets that eschew cliche for understatement. I'm looking forward to Pomeroy's next effort." —Sarah Weinman, Picks of the Week |
