Barbara Copperthwaite and 9 other people liked Marilyn Goncalves's review of The Blue Monsoon (Blue Mumbai, #2): "Another serial killer on the loose in this sequel to The Blue Bar. I was immersed by the descriptive lifestyle and cultural aspects of this story add corruption, religion, a ritual murder left at a temple and you’ve got a winner."

Quotes by Barbara Copperthwaite (?)

“A lifetime can flash by in a moment. A moment can last a lifetime.”
― Barbara Copperthwaite, Her Last Secret

1 likes

“Even though our experiences were so different, at the root of our issues were similar emotions: fear, anger, difficulty in coping, the urge to pretend to be strong as we fell apart. Dealing with the change in the way people reacted to us. The sense that our lives were split into Before and After.”
― Barbara Copperthwaite, The Perfect Friend
