false 566267 14 Elisabeth Hyde has taken a powerful moral predicament and constructed around it a richly layered, compulsively readable novel about a murder in a small Colorado town, about the choices we make and the way their unintended consequences ripple through our lives. Two weeks before Christmas, Diana Duprey, an outspoken abortion doctor, is found floating in her pool, a bruise the size of a golf ball visible through her dark curls. A national figure, Diana inspired passion and ignited tempers, never more so than on the day of her death. Her husband, Frank, an attorney in the D.A.’s office for more than twenty years, had fought bitterly with her on the day of her murder. Yet to reveal the nature of their fight would cost him not only his career but something greater still—a relationship he will go to any lengths to protect. Diana’s daughter, Megan, a college freshman, had also quarreled with Diana that day, and her role in her mother’s murder will prove more significant than she ever could have anticipated. The Reverend Stephen O’Connell, founder of the town’s pro-life coalition, obviously had issues with Diana, but his anger extended beyond the political to the personal—namely, Dr. Duprey’s involvement with his own troubled teenager. Meanwhile, the detective on the case grapples to make sense of it all. His investigation implicates many in this town and reveals a series of gross miscalculations, each one challenging what we know, or think we know, about community, fidelity, justice, and love. A riveting and provocative page-turner: a novel of stunning economy and momentum by a writer poised for wide discovery. 897983 book 2006 The Abortionist's Daughter total:778|5:66|4:229|3:309|2:131|1:43| 778 2478 1150 166 566267 0307276414 9780307276414 638 123 3.19 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/566267.The_Abortionist_s_Daughter 2 4 false Mon Aug 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 05:50:32 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 06:07:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 566267 0307276414 9780307276414 638 123 3.19 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/566267.The_Abortionist_s_Daughter 2 1 false Fri Feb 01 15:44:55 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 16 15:39:01 -0800 2008 more...]]> 566267 0307276414 9780307276414 638 123 3.19 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/566267.The_Abortionist_s_Daughter 3 0 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Nov 30 05:58:20 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 05:59:22 -0800 2009 more...]]> 566267 0307276414 9780307276414 638 123 3.19 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/566267.The_Abortionist_s_Daughter 5 0 false Sat Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 12:10:48 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 14:57:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 566267 0307276414 9780307276414 638 123 3.19 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/566267.The_Abortionist_s_Daughter 0 0 false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Jan 10 11:58:40 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 12:00:02 -0800 2009 downloaded from audible.com.
