Thursday's Children: A Frieda Klein Mystery | Nicci French
74 posts | 23 read | 14 to read
Fierce, fascinating and full of insight, Frieda Klein is irresistible.Val McDermid, bestselling author of Splinter the Silence The electrifying fourth book in the internationally bestselling Frieda Klein Mystery seriesFrieda Klein is uninterested in catching up on old times when her former classmate, Maddie Capel, shows up at her dooruntil she hears about Maddies troubled daughter, Becky. The teenager claims she was raped in her own bed one night while her mother was downstairs. Her assailant left her with a warning: Dont think of telling anyone, sweetheart. Nobody will believe you. And no one doesexcept Frieda. Beckys story awakens dark memories of an eerily similar incident in Friedas own past that shes been avoiding for decades. When Becky is found hanging from a beam in her bedroom, Frieda returns home, seeking out her old high school friends to ask what they remember about the night that prompted Frieda to leave town for good. But confronting the ghosts of the past turns out to be more dangerous than she ever expected.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The 4th book about Frieda Klein

This leads Frieda back to her hometown and down memory lane.

Quick photo before I take my library books back although still can't go in to have a good browse.
4th in the frieda klien series sees the psychotherapist helping the teenage daughter of someone she knew as a child. This triggers a memory from her own youth and with an unwell mother finds her back in the small Suffolk Town and the reader visiting her past. It was a well told mystery although it does explore some very difficult themes .

1. I think going from a person that needed plans and to be busy socially to being ok being home.
2. Nothing else matters as long as I have my family and health.
3. Way more (see answer 1 😉)
4. I‘m not sure yet -
Tagging all - Happy New Year!

Normally we‘d be busy every weekend with parties and events but this year it‘s quiet.
3. Nothing is so bad as long as you have your health and family.

Thanks for the tag! @MoonWitch94

⚘I don't do any photo challenges, but I always participate in the monthly readathons

⚘ I lump all my fantasy, sci fi, and horror together in one section because I feel the genres often overlap. That's what I have the most of.

⚘I prefer to drink tea and vape

#QuotsyFeb20 #Thursday

“Thursday is perhaps the worst day of the week. It‘s nothing in itself; it just reminds you that the week has been going on for too long.”

I actually quite like Thursdays as they are almost Friday. 😆I‘ve not read this series although I have read a couple of Nicci French books. I think whether it is Thursday‘s Child or Thursday‘s Children for the title depends on where in the world you live.😉

Susanita Thursdays are great! 5y

Shae_Purcell Your current job sounds dreamy. Do you have your master's? I've been considering it lately. 6y
tonyahoswalt @spharo Yes, I do. I love it! I used to do Teen Services, and I'm still passionate about that, but I really love what I do now, choosing and ordering new books, and cataloging them. And having social anxiety and being an introvert, it's nice not being in front of the public. 6y
TK421 We have similar other dream jobs. I would love to be a professional wildlife photographer! After volunteering for years at a local nature center / wildlife rehab, I would love to be involved in wildlife conservation again. 6y
tonyahoswalt @TK421 I've always been passionate about nature and wildlife, and if I hadn't gone the library/book route, I would have also been happy in that field. As a teenager, I was thinking of studying zoology, or marine biology, and I dreamed of photographing lions, tigers, etc. 6y
