Killing Harry
Overview
This story starts out mildly enough; a common place love story as one would expect in everyday real life. The reader gets to know ordinary people in ordinary circumstances and is given time to become comfortable and familiar with the characters - enough to develop a sense of self-identification and a it-couldn't-happen-to-me, type of attitude. But the unthinkable does begin to happen and other-wise fairytale romantic lives begin to disintegrate. The first one hundred pages or so which could have been called 'book 1' or a 'story before a story', are pure romance although, certainly not of the 'Mills and Boon' variety. This is true-to-life stuff with blow by blow descriptions and graphic love scenes that leave nothing to the imagination - so be warned. It is not until well into the book that the central story begins to unfold and what is a strong, complex and very original plot begins to take shape. Architects and Interior Designers will enjoy 'Killing Harry', and find a lot to identify with. Because of the long romantic prelude, women tend to enjoy this story more so than men although once the plot gets rolling, anyone will have difficulty putting it down. Definitely good reading best saved for bed-time - adults only. BACK COVER: Harry Brown was a successful San Francisco architect with all the associated trappings: luxurious house, exotic car and envious life style. But Harry was alone ... until one day the beautiful interior designer, Eva Avenska, comes into his life and their unique love story begins; a love that we might all dream of one day experiencing. But this is just the beginning of their story which twists and turns like a rocky mountain road beyond their control, into a thrilling adventure of tragedy, deceit and manipulation; risking life and death and testing that love to its limits. Lurking just below the surface of this story is another subtle story: a man and a woman's psychological struggle for truth and honesty in the knowledge of a more meaningful and potent existence. A truth and honesty which Harry lived by and was prepared to die for. This story will bring your emotions out for some exercise and in the end leave you feeling good and wiser for the experience.
