The Disappearing – Lori Roy

Lori Roy’s first novel Bent Road was published in 2011. In 2012 it won an Edgar Award for best first novel. Lori’s third book Let Me Die in His Footsteps was published in 2015. It won an Edgar for Best Novel in 2016. That win made Lori thee first woman to win An Edgar Allen Poe Award for both  Best First Novel and Best Novel. She’s only the third person to do it overall!

Let Me Die in His Footsteps – Lori Roy

Edgar Nominated Let Me Die in His Footsteps dazzles!

(Book 6 of 2016)

Yesterday I finished Let Me Die in His Footsteps by Lori Roy. It is the sixth book of 2016 and the second book that is nominated for the 2016 Edgar Award for Best Novel. The first was Michael Robotham’s Life or Death. Both of the books are worthy candidates for the awards.

Let Me Die in His Footsteps is not the typical type of mystery that I read There is no private eye or police chasing a serial killer, or grisly murder to solve. Instead the story revolves around to families in the hills of Kentucky and a crime whose effects touch two generations of Baines and Hollerans. The story revolves around two sets of sisters Sarah and Juna Crowley whose actions in 1936 have repercussions on the lives of Annie and Caroline Holleran in 1952. read more
