BOOK REVIEW TELL ME By Lisa Jackson I finally stumbled across a book that takes place in Savannah and thought it would make a good review for all you locals out there. It’s also good enough for you snow birds from Ohio if you’re still here! Twenty years ago, beautiful Blondell O’Henry was convicted of killing her oldest daughter, Amity, and gravely injuring her other two children. She was convicted based on the testimony of her then 8 year old son. Now, her now grown son is recanting his testimony, saying that he was coerced by the police in his testimony. It’s up to Detective Pierce Reed, of the Savannah Police Department, to find out the truth before Blondell is released from prison. This all happens to be very personal for reporter Nikki Gillette of the Savannah Sentinel, who was a childhood friend of Amity O’Henry. In fact, Amity had wanted to meet with Nicki on the night she was killed to tell her something very personal, but Nikki couldn’t get there. Now, Nicki is determined to get to the truth of what really happened the night that Amity was killed and only Blondell O’Henry seems to know the truth. And, to complicate matters even further, Nicki is engaged to marry Detective Pierce Reed who is equally anxious to get to the truth of the matter, only he wants to do it the legal way, not Nicki’s way. So, as Nicki noses her way into the case and Pierce worries about her safety, we are left to try and sort out the situation! The ending was quite interesting and not altogether expected. I give this book 4 roses. It has an awful lot of characters to keep straight, but if you forget someone along the way, he or she will probably pop up again, and not in a good way! I always enjoy reading about Savannah, but I wish Nicki had at least taken a day trip to Tybee! Oh well, maybe next time! Until next time, read a book. If it’s a good read, pass it on! 16 TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | MAY 2017 By Nell Klein We offer mid-century and coastal furniture that is timeless, not timeworn.
