I finished reading The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain this morning. I can’t remember how I came across this book but I’m guessing I spotted it on another blog or one of my readers recommended it. From the back cover:
In 1977, pregnant Genevieve Russell disappeared. Twenty years later, her remains are discovered and Timothy Gleason is charged with murder. But there is no sign of the unborn child. CeeCee Wilkes knows how Genevieve Russell died, because she was there. And she also knows what happened to the missing infant, because two decades ago she made the devastating choice to raise the baby as her own.
The story is a little far-fetched but if you can put that aside, the book is very enjoyable. It’s not a Book Club type of book but would make a great relaxing-on-a-Sunday-afternoon book.
In the words of Siskel and Ebert I give this book two thumbs up.
