Chronicle Concering Books All Things Cease to Appear

A dark, riveting, beautifully written book—by “a brilliant novelist” according to Richard Bausch—that combines noir and the gothic in a story about two families entwined in their own unhappiness, with, at its heart, a gruesome and unsolved murder.
Late one winter afternoon in upstate New York, George Clare comes home to find his wife killed and their three-year-old daughter alone—for how many hours?—in her room across the hall. He had recently, begrudgingly, taken a position at a nearby private college (far too expensive for local kids to attend) teaching art history, and moved his family into a tight-knit, impoverished town that has lately been discovered by wealthy outsiders in search of a rural idyll.
George is of course the immediate suspect—the question of his guilt echoing in a story shot through with secrets both personal and professional. While his parents rescue him from suspicion, a persistent cop is stymied at every turn in proving Clare a heartless murderer. And three teenage brothers (orphaned by tragic circumstances) find themselves entangled in this mystery, not least because the Clares had moved into their childhood home, a once-thriving dairy farm. The pall of death is ongoing, and relentless; behind one crime there are others, and more than twenty years will pass before a hard kind of justice is finally served.
A rich and complex portrait of a psychopath and a marriage, this is also an astute study of the various taints that can scar very different families, and even an entire community. Elizabeth Brundage is an essential talent who has given us a true modern classic.

****4.5 Stars****



I am really unsure how to characterize this book. The book starts off with a murder and you don't know who did it, so it could be a mystery/thriller. But the book is very character driven, not plot driven, so you really get into the minds of several different characters, including briefly a couple of dead ones, and it's not much of a suspense novel at all. I just know that I really liked this book. The end was definitely tidied up much too neatly with the daughter, and I wish there was more of a

A Savage Sketching of Psychosis in Focus [4.1 stars]This book was adrenalizing and refreshing in its breakaway from the mold of the formulaic, brain-numbing books of the genre. Oh, you know the ones, their authors are well-known and dependable... at writing pretty good stories that keep you reading on the plane and leave you the moment you chunk 'em in the airport garbage. Hey, if that's your bag, more power to ya, but you should not buy this book. The novel lacerates with its sharp intensity,

I loved every minute of this book about two tragic families, first the Hale family and then the Clare family. I didnt want the book to end but I feel the story will haunt my heart and mind for some time to come so it's not really out of my life yet.George Clare appears at his neighbors home one day, carrying his 3-yr-old daughter, Frannie, telling them that something has happened to his wife. Catherine has been murdered and little Frannie left unattended in the house with her dead mother. So

This starts off like any good mystery should (with a grisly murder - shortly after moving into a 'haunted' old farm house, someone put an axe in Catherine Clare's head), but evolves into more of a study of characters and relationships, mixed in with a little ghost story.Things that bothered me a little:1) the author dispensed of quotation marks - I found this really annoying, especially the first 1/3 of the book. I got more used to it as the book went on, but I still didn't like it and I just

VERY well written and many heartbreaking storylines. GEORGE CLARE CAN DIE IN A TIRE FIRE!I HATED his character with a passion.This isn't a useful review, but I just had to get that out there.
