With murder in common friendship is inevitable:

As fifteen year old Pleasant Day struggles with her mother’s distance, her father’s infidelity and the death of her best friend, she draws closer to Clarissa, an older woman with the secrets to heal her. But Clarissa has struggles of her own as she faces betrayal and seeks to come to terms with old wounds. With her unpredictable but psychic ability to ‘read people’ Clarissa uncovers the answers to a deadly crime and to Pleasant’s true identity. In the end, both Pleasant and Clarissa’s worlds are transformed by the truths they’re forced to accept.

My Thoughts on Pleasant Day by Vera Jane Cook:

Pleasant Day is a 15 year old who find s out from a friend that a girl in the neighbourhood was found dead.  To top it off, her body was hidden in a very peculiar way.    So peculiar that Pleasant didn’t believe it at first.   This is just how the book opens, just wait until you read more.

Sorry, I don’t want to risk spoilers but lets just say their are secrets that come out along the way, that change Pleasant’s world forever.

This is the fourth book I have read by Vera Jane Cook and this is certainly the most suspenseful.  It is written in the same no holds barred approach the Cook uses in all her books.  Which is one of the many reasons I keep reading her work.  Every book she writes is unique, raw, and emotional.  Her characters are quirky and original. The southern back drop also adds to her novels.

If you enjoy books with a southern setting that are fresh and original, you need go no further than Vera Jane Cook. You are in for a treat! I highly recommend ‘Pleasant Day’! It is a real page turner with plenty of twists!

5/5

I received the ebook version for my honest review.

British Occupied Manhattan, 1777. American actress Jenny Leighton has been packing the John Street Theater with her witty comedies, but she longs to escape the provincial circuit for the glamour of the London stage. When the playwright General John Burgoyne visits the city, fresh from a recent success in the capitol, she seizes the opportunity to court his patronage. But her plan is foiled by British intelligence officer Severin Devere.

Severin’s mission is to keep the pleasure-loving general focused on the war effort…and away from pretty young actresses. But the tables are turned when Severin himself can’t resist Jenny Leighton…

Months later, Jenny has abandoned her dreams of stage glory and begun writing seditious plays for the Rebels under the pen name “Cornelia,” ridiculing “Gentleman Johnny” Burgoyne and his army—and undermining the crown’s campaign to take Albany. With Jenny’s name now on the hanging list, Severin is ordered to find her—and deliver her to certain death. Soon, the two are launched on a desperate journey through the wilderness, toward an uncertain future shaped by the revolution—and their passion for each other…
