Quiver

A murder mystery in verse, this book opens with the protagonist stumbling across the body of an acquaintance who has been horribly murdered and left in a cemetery. She recognizes the victim as the former lover of her husband and so begins a web of incident and intrigue. Combining the pace and excitement of good fiction with all the lyric artistry of verse, the plot unfolds in brief poetic episodes, offering erotic glimpses of the protagonist's volatile moods. Disturbing and contradictory facts emerge as she interacts with police, colleagues, friends, and her spouse, all of whom seem to possess pieces of the puzzle that, when solved, will lead her to the mystery of the murdered girl.Rees-Jones, Deryn is the author of 'Quiver', published 2004 under ISBN 9781854113542 and ISBN 1854113542.
