Book description
Ethan and Jorie, a perfect, beautiful couple, have been married for
13 years, and are still very much in love. Ethan is a pillar of the
community, but 13 years ago he committed a brutal rape and murder. A
young girl's phone call exposes him, and nothing will ever be the same
for any of them - as nothing could ever be the same for that other
young girl who was raped all those years ago, or for her family.
Blue Diary is a powerful, disturbing novel about the dark
shadows in ordinary lives, about the ripples that carry on
indefinitely from a violent act. And the blue diary of the title
belonged to the dead girl...
