INROADS: The Killing of Callie Shane by Linda AmeyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
INROADS: The Killing of Callie Shane by Linda Amey is a well written thriller/mystery that recounts the murder of a young teenager, Callie, 20 years earlier in a convenience store shooting. Callie was the daughter of Rebecca, a funeral director, and a well regarded member of her community. Even after so much time has elapsed, Rebecca can't quite get over it, and begins to think that her stepdaughter Nichole lied about the night that Callie was killed. This is a riveting story, with characters that feel so real. You can feel the grief of Callie's parents even though they are divorced. You can feel the anguish as Rebecca's ex husband becomes an alcoholic. He is tortured at the loss of his daughter. This story is subtly written, and fully illustrates the lifestyle in Texas, making the reader feel they are in that place with all of the characters. Amey has done a superb job of putting together this story, and with her background gives credibility and sensitivity to the subject of death. Highly recommend.
