Synopsis
1974 - When teenage girl Anna Martellini is found brutally murdered in her home in Florence, a bunch of alleged suspects are brought to court, but her mother Deanna, with no alibi and incriminating evidence against her, is filed under ‘suspect number one’. Despite her consistent claims of innocence, the woman receives a life sentence and following her sudden death, her husband leaves everything behind to start anew in Buffalo, NY, where his brother Stefano lives with his growing family.
1994 - Whilst people seem to have moved on and found peace of mind, there is someone on the other side of the Atlantic who doesn’t believe that justice has been served; it’s Stefano’s daughter, Olivia, who’s itching to shed light on the old Martellini homicide case. So Deanna’s hard-nosed niece jets off to Italy, jumping at the opportunity to embark on a year-long study abroad program. The curious fresh-faced girl, armed with a strong sense of justice – not to mention a healthy dose of luck – goes to any lengths to unveil the truth about what happened to her late cousin, and first and foremost, to find out who the real culprit is.
Will Olivia be able to reverse the jury’s verdict and clear Aunt Deanna’s name?
Or will she have to accept the fact that her aunt was a cold-blooded killer?
My Thoughts
Taut, page turning, and smart, A Call From the Past is a thriller that will keep readers up late as the twists and turns keep coming. If he keeps writing novels this good, he’s got quite a literary career before him. A twisty, compulsive book that will keep you reading all night! Fast-paced with crisp writing and an intriguing plot.
This book will take you on the absolute adventure that you’ve been craving in these uncertain times. Buy the paperback, you’ll want to keep it for years to come. If you are looking for a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, while making your head spin, look no further. Suede Goldmann is an extremely talented writer that writes in such an honest and relatable way, you’ll find yourself being absolutely immersed in it. For this novel, I was blown away! The characters were perfectly developed and realistically flawed. The plot was full of twists and turns that ended in a climax so shocking yet believable, that I kicked myself for not seeing it coming. Well done!
Suede Goldmann is a thriller writer to reckon with. His novel has a tight and twisty plot, vivid characters, and a pleasantly down-home sensibility that will remind some readers of adventures land. Luckily, A Call From the Past is an original thriller, and his skill as a writer makes the setting all his own.
Highly Recommended!
