Speak of the Devil by Rose Wilding
“Speak of the Devil” is the perfect book for someone looking for a murder mystery with a consistent sense of dread. In the story, a gruesome discovery forces seven women to find the murderer amongst them in order to protect their secrets. The book alternates between the investigation and flashbacks into each woman’s past, where we see why each of the women had a motive to kill the victim. The antagonist’s use of gaslighting keeps the characters, and the reader, constantly guessing whether or not they know what happened and who they can trust. The book ends with the accidental discovery of the killer and a surprisingly bloody end.
