Review: A Circle of Souls by Preetham Grandhi

The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a
little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia
Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.

An intensely suspenseful debut thriller from author Preetham Grandhi . I did not want to put this book down until the very end. It was an easy read for me and not at all weighted down with medical/police jargon. It was thoroughly enjoyable to read the lengths that some people would go to help others. This story shows the worst as well as some of the very best of what mankind has to offer. I would like to read more about Agent Bines and Dr. Gram. They were great characters who made this story all the more enjoyable to read. This was a very satisfying thrill ride of twists and turns that had a superb ending. I highly recommend this book .
