THE SACRIFICIAL MAN BY RUTH DUGDALL
Paperback published by Legend press on the 29th November 2019
What I want to say is that suicide is my choice. No-one else is to blame. Man seeks beautiful woman for the journey of a lifetime: Will you help me to die?
When Probation Officer Cate Austin is given her new assignment, she faces the highest-profile case of her career. Alice Mariani is charged with assisted suicide and Cate must recommend a sentence.
Alice insists her story is one of misinterpreted love, forcing those around her to analyse their own lives. Who is to decide what is normal and when does loyalty turn to obsession?
Investigating the loophole that lies between murder and euthanasia, Cate must now meet the woman who agreed to comply with her lover’s final request. Shocking revelations expose bitter truths that can no longer be ignored.
MY REVIEW
The Sacrificial Man was first released in 2011 by Legend press, I’m so glad that this book has been released 29th November 2019 as I didn’t get to read this novel when it was first published. Now I’ve read it I can’t get the dark shocking moments out of my head.
If you haven’t read The Sacrificial Man, I can promise you that this is the perfect shocking book for the wintry weather curled up on the sofa in the comfort of your warm lounge, this the book I’m 100% recommending.
This heartbreaking advert is with effects going to cause a lot of trouble. And the beginning of Probation officer Cate Austins notes won’t even scratch the service of what took place and what’s about to happen.
Cate Austin has to do her job and give the Crown Prosecution a summary of evidence about Alice Mariani.
Man seeks beautiful woman for the journey of a lifetime. Alice was browsing Facebook and Twitter, searching special sites, cruising in and out of chat rooms she didn’t know what she was waiting for until she found Robin Smith advert. I will lift mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help. Will you help me to die? David Jenkins called himself Robin Smith on all social platforms.
Alice Mariani helped David Jenkins take his own life. But this spices it all up as David Jenkins wasn’t ill or in pain. There was no foundations that he was in any debts. There hanging over probation officer Cate Austin is the biggest question why did he want to die?
What is stacked up for Alice in court? And what will the court decide to do with Alice ?
