Andrew Packford, newly established as an antiques dealer, is enjoying life very much. He has a career that suits his laid back nature, a passion for antiques and business is booming.
Then, as is often the case, fate comes calling. While restoring an item of furniture he finds an old newspaper article together with a photograph of four people. Two men two women. He has no idea just how much these four strangers will change his life.
One of them kills people.
One of them turns a blind eye.
The other two might just be Andrew’s salvation.
The discovery opens a Pandora’s box and while a lesser man might have walked away, that is not his way. If he didn’t stand up for what he thought was right who would? Friday the Sixteenth is a gripping read with a memorable character at its heart.
Quick thoughts
I liked this book, although it was a little bit different than I thought it was going to be. From the synopsis I thought it would be a bit more of a mystey/suspense/thriller, and that's not what it is. So, if by chance, that's the type of book you're looking for, this book might not be for you right now. This book has more of a fighting for justice arc. That being said, I'm not taking away any points because the story wasn't what I thought it would be, because those expectations are entirely on me. I especially don't want to take off any points because the story as it was, was good! The justice that was being fought for was intriguing to read about and I admire the strong will of all the characters as well as seeing their stories intertwine through the multiple POV format. Overall, very enjoyable.
