The Interview by Gill Perdue

4.0

Gill Perdue's "The Interview" is haunting, engrossing and dark. I must admit that it took time for me to get used to Gill's writing style but as the pages turned, I couldn't put my iPad down. On paper Detective Laura Shaw has it all, a supportive husband and a beautiful daughter. However, Jenny is a victim of rape, abuse and trauma. With every successive interview with this 14-year-old, Laura's deep-rooted trauma comes to the surface. This book is an emotional symphony of Laura's and Jenny's past. It's about Laura confronting her past while deciphering what truly happened to Jenny. This book was insightful as it provided a psychological perspective on trauma and sheds light on the support victims receive. I found the ending of this book to be rushed and would have loved a little more time for things to come together. This read is not for the faint-hearted as it contains domestic abuse, rape, assault and animal death. A 4-star read.
