Invisible Literature by Barbara Jordan

The story begins with the main character, Arie, on her way to a hospital after learning of her Godmother having a bad fall down a set of stairs. While her godmother's recovering in the hospital Arie learns her fall was actually a murder attempt. Arie becomes less and less sure who to trust while she tries to uncover who's behind the plot to murder her Godmother. As secrets begin to unfold Arie tries to keep her own secret about her identity. To make matters even more complex, she's begun having feelings for her godmother's doctor.

The author's style of storytelling felt a bit inexperienced. One gets the feeling this is the author's first work. While some characters felt as though they were real people, others had a 'B-movie' type of feel. I found it easy to empathize with Arie. Her concern and love for her family was easily felt. My favorite character was the Godmother who came across as feisty and independent yet loving as well. However the butler and maid characters seemed off-beat with the other characters in the story. The dialog of the butler and compliance of the maid felt a bit unrealistic.

All that being said, this is indeed the author's first book and I sincerely congratulate her for writing it. I believe she has the potential to develop her writing further.
