Rose is abducted as a nine-year-old girl from her home village in Goa and taken across to the other side of the country to live with a family who wants a daughter. She remembers nothing from her previous life and settles down with her new family for the next seven years.
I don’t want to give any spoilers because I think the less you know how the story progresses, the better. We discover the lengths that a family will go to, to right a wrong, and how, with the right resources, it’s easier to solve a crime.
The characters in Rose were diverse, many of them were loveable, but even more, were downright evil and, rightly, got what was coming to them. Fletcher writes with enthusiasm and spirit, and his descriptions of people and places were amazing. I cringed when I read about the stench of Rose’s abductors. I could feel the smells coming through the pages!
I’ve heard on the grapevine that there will be a sequel to Rose and I really hope this is true. You can be sure I’ll be looking out for it.
If you enjoy suspense, thriller and crime novels, then you’ll love this.
Thank you to Robin P Fletcher for contacting me and asking me to read his book in exchange for an honest review. I’m so pleased I accepted and I will definitely read more of his books.
