An absorbing thriller centering on a 20-year-old murder, The Shape of Snakes is a gripping tale of one woman's quest for the truth amid the complex nature of today's society. In 1978 Britain, the local schoolteacher, M. Ranelagh, discovers "Mad Annie" Butts, a local black woman who suffers from Tourette's syndrome, dying in the gutter. The experience so traumatizes M. that she moves out of the country, but she remains focused on the death and amasses an incredible amount of data letters, notes, e-mails, and medical reports to support her belief that Annie was murdered. Why is M. so intent on discovering all she can about the event, to the point of making her husband silent with anger? Is M. on a quest for justice or revenge? The story touches on the ugly side of human nature prejudice, bigotry, hatred, and violence and does contain some explicit scenes and language. Frances Barber's narration is clear and precise.

Sending as a filler for a Grafton fan . . . probably not appropriate.
