With Christmas so close, I decided to make another push because I think WHAT CAME BEFORE is a perfect choice as Christmas gift for anyone who likes mysteries, novels of suspense, or family sagas (well, of course I do! I wrote it and want you to buy it, love it, and gift it!!)
Here’s what a few people have said about the book:
“I loved the premise, the fast pacing and the characters. It was a wonderful read that never insulted the readers’ intelligence. Looking forward to Gay’s next tale. BTW-I’m passing this on to my 14 year old granddaughter who will get hooked early as I did.” – Paul Beckman
“This book has terrifically drawn characters, and plot that unfolds into more plot, giving the novel a textured ongoing presence till its very end. Loved this book! Most highly recommend!” – Susan Tepper
“I loved this book. Here’s why: What Came Before relies on more than a murder mystery to keep readers turning the pages. In addition to fast pacing, a clever plot and complex relatable characters, this novel offers glimpses into societal expectations and racial restrictions during the 1940s and 50s–all written in smooth, beautifully-rendered prose.” Sue Ann Connaughton
“…there is nothing hasty about Degani’s character development, nor the authenticity of her interactions, nor the complexity of her plot. There are many layers here, and many open-ended questions–about race, celebrity, neurosis, the place of a woman in her family and the larger world, logic versus assumption… And on, and on.” – Susan O’Neill
“This stunning novel from veteran Gay Degani is nothing less than fantastic!…The darker mysteries and pathos are balanced with subtle humor throughout. Degani has given us a novel that speaks to the present time in which we live, and resounds with this inner question we all might ponder: WHO AM I?” – Robert Vaughn
This novel is an unraveling narrative of red herrings and second guesses, with twists and turns of plotline that keep you turning the pages. What Came Before is a detective story that is both engaging and enthralling, populated by vivid characters portrayed with a deft and precise prose. – Literary Fiction Book Review
