Fractured Tapestry by Kiera Dellacroix
Recommended by: JLynn - 06.09.02
Classification: Mystery/Thriller
Sex/Violence Content: Alt/NC-17 (violence/language/sexual content)
Length: Novel, 257 pages - Complete
Maddie Ledoux is an angry, nasty, opinionated, selfish, egotistical messed up customer, but trust me; you’re gonna love her anyway. Fractured Tapestry is Maddie’s story, told with the wonderfully gritty immediacy that the first person perspective can create, and it begins with the brutal murder of her beloved uncle, the man responsible for raising her and whom she considers her father. As a private detective, Maddie talks her way into taking on the murder case herself, determined to find his killer no matter how long it takes.
The road of Maddie’s investigation is filled with twists and turns, and Kiera takes us along into a dark mystery that forces Maddie to discover aspects of herself that she would most likely prefer not to know even as she searches for the killer. The story is as much a love story as it is a thriller, and Fractured provides deep emotion as well as wry humour, both with sufficient intensity to move you to tears or laughter.
This robust mystery is full of character and colour, delightfully constructed and paced to keep your interest riveted to the page until the very final moment. Go now, read quickly, email her with praise and beg her for more. You won’t be disappointed.

I wasn't prepared to read this story for most of the evening. I thought I might just curl up with a short piece while I munched on a sandwich. From the very beginning, I was riveted to my seat. I laughed, I rolled my eyes, I gasped and feared right alongside the characters all the way through. I can't tell you how many pages this Uber is. The story has been encrypted in a sad, but necessary grip on ownership. But the misery of copyright protection aside, I want to tell you all the reasons why you should read this story. One of the main characters is a sarcastic, no-bullshit, honest, aggravating, caustic, crude, funny, beautiful, resourceful and brave woman. Upon re-assignment to the frozen hell of Earth, Antarctica, she immeadiately makes an enemy in the small doctor that is her foil. The doctor is appalled by the Commander and her gruff, crude ways. The doctor hates her on sight. The two must overcome their difficulties if they're going to live in close quarters beneath the ice for eight months. A scientific team, guarded by a select military team are digging out an alien ship embedded a mile in the frozen continent. All too soon we realize this is no fluffy love story. There is danger, a sense of the spooky paranormal, horrifying terror and a creature that defies all compassion. They must all work together to survive, or they will die one by one in a top-secret base under the ice. Just one word of warning...If worms tweak you out...go look for that fluffy love story.
