Good mystery

All in all this was a good read. Amanda had experienced some childhood horror which caused her to repress the memory of that day. This author kept me wanting to find out what this secret memory was and so I was hardly able to put down this book. Some questions remain unanswered at the end of the book however: Why did Amanda's grandfather send for her knowing what he did (one must read the book to the end to understand this question however); why did Amanda's aunt hate her so much? Even after the end of this book this dislike did not make much sense. So all-in-all this was an OK read. Possibly 3 1/2 stars. I think Kay Hooper tried to redo this story in her book "Amanda" with a little more success. I would recommend that one reads "The Turquoise Mask" followed by "Amanda" and compare the two.

A seemingly real-life mystery.

"The Turquoise Mask" is an intense, attention grabbing novel by Phyllis A. Whitney. It is a story about a young woman who goes to New Mexico to reveal the truth about both her mother's death and her step uncle's murder; but someone doesn't want her to find out what really happened. In her struggles to figure out the mystery, Amanda is almost killed, twice! As you read the book, you keep guessing who the murderer is, but in the end, it is someone who you wouldn't expect. Although you are anxious to solve the mystery, this absorbing book keeps you wanting more. If you like heartpounding novels that make you want to keep reading, this book's for you!
