Journal Entry 1 by Dorothyredboots from York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Monday, September 21, 2009
Donated to Bookcrossing bt my Mum. I have read this some time ago so marking available.
Synopsis from Amazon:-
'It is November 1978, and Britain is on strike. The dead lie unburied, rubbish piles in the streets - and somewhere is West London a black woman dies in a rain-soaked gutter. Her passing would have gone unmourned but for the young woman who finds her and who believes - apparently against reason - that Annie was murdered. But whatever the truth about Annie - whether she was as mad as her neighbours claimed, whether she lived in squalor as the police said - something passed between her and Mrs Ranelagh in the moment of death which binds this one woman to her cause for the next twenty years. But why is Mrs Ranelagh so convinced it was murder when by her own account Annie died without speaking? And why would any woman spend twenty painstaking years uncovering the truth - unless her reasons are personal ...?'

i really enjoyed this book which kept me guessing until the end,what i did'nt like were the referances to cat cruelty which i found upsetting.
