The Day She Died

The Day She Died by Catriona McPherson
301 Pages

Jessie Constable lives a quiet life, working part-time in the local thrift shop.  She becomes involved with Gus King when he becomes upset in the local supermarket.  Soon she is living with Gus and taking care of his two children.  But as time progresses, the story Gus is telling her doesn't match up with mounting evidence. 

I found it to be fairly obvious what had happened and as a reader wanted to hit Jessie over the head with her obliviousness to what was apparent.  It should be noted that the writing style was strong enough for me to finish the book however.
