Narration Supposing Books A Secret Rage

Charlaine Harris is the author of the hugely popular Sookie Stackhouse mysteries, the inspiration for HBO’s True Blood series. (Trust me, the books are better than the show!)

Before she was writing about psychics, werewolves, and vampires, though, she wrote “straight” mysteries, like the Aurora Teagarden series (called “cozies with teeth”) and the Lilly Bard series. But before even those…

Harris is a writer – and a rape survivor. How does a writer deal with major trauma? She writes about it. A Secret Rage was published more than twenty-five years ago. The stand-alone story describes Nickie, a model aged out of her career who has come back home to go to college and finally finish her education. A serial rapist has started to prey on the women associated with the college, and Nickie falls victim to him. Unable to stand not knowing who did this, Nickie joins forces with another survivor to track down their assailant. The rape itself is described, not in gruesome detail, but it is somewhat shocking and spares none of the violence, pain, damage, or terror that Nickie endured. The novel is fascinating, if painful, in its matter-of-fact discussion of the way Nickie tenaciously, determinedly, puts the pieces of her life back into place, refusing to be a victim, refusing to run from those who stare and gossip. This book was obviously written from the heart, and I applaud Ms. Harris’s example of a woman who will not allow a vicious crime to define her.

Evaluation About Books A Secret Rage

Nickie Callahan is getting old for her modeling career in New York and her agent is letting her go. After talking with her best friend from her youth, Mimi, she decides to return home to Knolls, Tennessee and go back to college, possibly write a book. She thinks it will be a nice and cozy return to her old hometown that is until she finds out from Mimi that a student from the college was raped. Not only do friend's of hers and Mimi's get attacked, but Nickie is also assaulted. With help from

This book had the potential to be good. It provided a means through which to discuss the subject of rape and its effects on victims. And then the victim immediately jumped into a happy sexual relationship within days of the rape occurring, with a new partner, and it devolved into some warped murder mystery full of racism. It was a disappointment to say the least.

RATING: 3 STARSA Secret Rage is Harris's second (standalone) mystery novel. This novel is so much better than her first novel. Nickie Callahan has just been dropped by her agent (for modelling), and cannot get her novels published. Deciding on what to do next, her childhood best friend, Mimi calls to tell her she is getting a divorce for the second time. She is also moving into her late grandmother's home, and asks Nickie to come move in. The home is close to the college in small southern town,

Okay well first off had I been smart and read the reviews I would've known that this book involves rape and I HATE READING ABOUT RAPE. But, I refuse to hold that against the author. I thought this book was handled well considering the difficult nature. The rape does occur in the book and you get to read about it as it is happening to the victim. I thought everything was done well except one part the part where the H screws the Hero after a couple of weeks to feel alive. Ok I could almost buy

A much different mystery than the usual ones by Charlaine Harris. And the weird thing is: I knew whodunnit. I couldn't tell you why but for once I got it. And about halfway through the book. I'm surprised it wasn't a red herring I fell for because I trip over them every single damn time.

5 stars. I love charlaine Harris my favorite female author. This novel was so good I loved all the characters and I didnt figure out who did the crime until she revealed it.

c1985 (14). I can see clear signs of the author-that-is-to-be in this book. The heroine is very self absorbed, there is a romantic element and the gals are taking the bud guys on. It was an ok read but I can see why this didn't quite make her name when it was first published. An interesting book to read to see the growth in the author's style so therefore recommended to the Ms Harris' fans in the normal crew.
