The idea of writing from afterlife was suspenseful, not unlike Gita Nazareth's Forgiving Ararat, which is also coming from the mind of a 30-something lady lawyer who was killed and trying to find her murderer. The difference was, Nazareth's voice was beautiful and touching as well as powerful. She presented death as a platform to discuss forgiveness which IMHO strengthened the novel. As Emma suggested, I would love to know how others compare these two. I think of Alice Sebold as a bold and clever writer, only not good enough to sustain the interest through to the end.

I’m a publicist and fan of the book which is about a woman who unlocks the secrets behind her own murder.
