Ellen Pall's Must Read
Well is a work of rare beauty, a psychological thriller that explores the
relationship between two complex and finely drawn female characters. Liz Miller
is a Ph.D. student with meager means, struggling to complete her dissertation.
Things get more complicated for her when her boyfriend dumps her and she
suddenly becomes homeless. A Craigslist posting that offers a room with a view
in a Greenwich Village apartment is a great find — it costs almost nothing to
the tenant, who must, as part of the arrangement read to the landlady. Liz is
surprised to learn that the landlady is none other than Anne Weil, author of The Vengeance of Catherine Clark, and
the same woman who has successfully stalled the progress of her dissertation by
not providing the support she needs. While Liz has access to the person she
needs to complete her Ph.D. program at Columbia, she quickly finds herself
pulled into Anne Weil's past through secret journals of a passionate love
affair.
Ellen Pall’s alluring writing immediately catches the interest of the reader. Her prose is fluid and fills the pages with terrific descriptions and compelling imagery. The detailed and cleverly
constructed world-building creates an immersive reading experience. The author
imbues the writing with realism. The journals offer powerful glimpses into
Weil's past, providing depth and the backdrop against which her character is
shaped in the story. The author pulls an impressive feat in character
development, creating relationships that are nuanced, and weaving mystery into
scenes that are focused and deftly written. Pall weaves elements of different
genres into this gripping tale, successfully making an offering that will be
welcomed by fans of mysteries, thrillers, and suspenseful women's fiction. You
will fall in love with the characters in Must
Read Well and want to know what happens to them at the end of this
page-turning psychological thriller.
