FALLEN WOMEN by Sandra Dallas

FALLEN WOMEN  by Sandra Dallas

You begin reading thinking you are reading one kind of novel only to discover that you are reading another – much more intriguing and with vastly more depth than you thought.  With each page we are drawn more deeply into the lives of Lillie and Beret and Mick.   Dallas’s rich character development is apparent in the first chapters and continues throughout as the plot line unfolds. Even minor characters have depth. The title leaves one wondering which women (and men) are fallen.

Public appearance and actual moral character become evident as Beret and Mick proceed with their investigation into Lillie’s death and personality.  Moral fiber will become a rich topic for book groups who choose to discuss this book.  Dallas gives us many other topics for discussion and one persistent question – What is the story behind Beret’s name--  a question posed but never answered.
