When four influential members are poisoned at London’s most exclusive private club, a young waitress is charged with their murder. Her personal life and upbringing are dissected, and five men begin to question how well they really knew her.
FIVE MEN. FIVE STORIES. BUT ARE THEY READY FOR HERS?
Her father remembers the sweet schoolgirl.
Her childhood friend bonded over a shared fascination with conspiracy theories.
Her lover regrets ever falling for her.
Her lawyer believes she is hiding something.
A journalist is convinced he knows exactly who she is: a cold-blooded killer.
But which is the true face of Katherine Cole? The reality lies somewhere between these very different perspectives.
UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY THAT’S GOT TOP AUTHORS TALKING!
Four prominent men are murdered at an elite London private members’ club. A 22-year-old waitress is accused of the murder. On the surface, an open-and-shut case.
Author Nicci Cloke takes a fresh approach with Her Many Faces. Rather than a typical police procedural focusing on an investigation, readers get five different perspectives of Katherine Cole.
Told in short, alternating chapters, readers gain insight from five men who all have their own theories, some of which are based on personal relationships. Whether it is her father, lawyer, childhood friend, lover, or journalist, they all see versions of Katherine (and refer to her using variants of her name).
Readers find themselves mulling over the different personas to determine whether this seemingly innocuous young woman could have committed such an atrocious crime. Adding in a conspiracy theory website takes the drama up a notch.
The shocking conclusion offers a satisfying resolution that underscores the different ways others perceive a person.
Her Many Faces breaks the traditional mold with supporting characters, providing insight into the main character as readers mull whether she committed murder.
