A Mystery

ebook

Nearly lost in a fog of grief over the fatal stabbing of her daughter, art historian Grace Neville feels only sorrow as Jordan Dukes is found guilty of murder. Days after the sentencing, Grace receives a visit from Jordan’s father, who claims that his son is innocent and a grave miscarriage of justice has taken place. Jordan’s history of gang-related violence and the fact that he doesn’t have an alibi make his father’s plea hard to believe. But then why does somebody break into Grace’s home and go through her daughter’s belongings?

In Don’t Tell Anyone, Eleanor Gray explores the relationship between a mother and a daughter, and the secrets that drive Grace to seek the truth no matter what the cost.

Praise:

"The disparate pieces of this intricately plotted mystery come together in a satisfying manner that will please readers of Ann Granger and Antonia Fraser."—Library Journal

"Eleanor Gray's Don't Tell Anyone is a book you'll be telling your friends about. The voice—and anguish—of Grace Neville compels us toward answering the question we may have all wondered: What if we don't really know the people closest to us?"—Lori Rader-Day, Mary Higgins Clark and Anthony Award winning author of The Black Hour and Little Pretty Things

      The murder of Grace Neville's daughter, Tara, and the conviction of Tara's boyfriend Jordan Dukes, has left the art historian paralyzed with grief and at a loss. When Jordan's father, Alan, shows up and pleads the case that Jordan is innocent, and that Tara's killer is still out there, Grace slowly comes to believe Alan might be right, and her life unravels even more. English author Gray, who has written nine novels under several pseudonyms, has created a sympathetic character in Grace, who gradually learns to live again while simultaneously pursuing the secrets that might lead to answers in Tara's murder. VERDICT The disparate pieces of this intricately plotted mystery come together in a satisfying manner that will please readers of Ann Granger and Antonia Fraser.

      A British art historian tries to prove the innocence of a young man she has every right to hate in this genre debut from hitherto pseudonymous Gray.Grace Neville thinks she knows what heartbreak is when Archie, her husband of 13 years, leaves her for a younger woman. The safe, secure world shes tried to build after her nomadic childhood vanishes in an instant. But after she struggles to rebuild it, the murder of her daughter, Tara, shatters her. Even the trial and conviction of Jordan Dukes, Taras hood of a boyfriend and presumptive killer, brings Grace no comfort or satisfaction. Nor does the alcohol she drinks to numb herself, the support of her bohemian mother and sister, a new hairdo, shopping expeditions in the quaintly named towns of Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh, or her sporadic work at an art gallery. The one person who gets past her wall of grief is Allan, Jordans father, who insists that his son didn't kill Tara. Against her familys advice, Grace visits Jordan in prison and comes away willing to entertain a different theory. Her belief in the criminal justice system is undermined when she finds out that the police have been trying to bag Jordan for a long time and would have seized any excuse. Trying to find out the dirty secret that might have accounted for Taras increasingly moody and difficult behavior gives Grace a new purpose. But shes still held back by her feelings for Archie, despite ever growing evidence of how weak, shallow, and selfish he is. Grace cant stop loving him until a further betrayal makes even her begin to doubt him. Two unlikely white knights, a convenient coincidence, and a revelation from left field finally bring Grace more healing peace and acceptance than her readers are likely to enjoy. Although the protagonists misery is understandable, its still a relief when she finally starts rising above it. If only she could do the same with the awkward plot.
