Review: An accident? A can of worms!
Rating: 5 out of 5

What starts off with an accident in which a homeless woman is killed later transforms into a thoroughly intriguing plot. The initial story of a woman seeking help from a homeless lady who then gets killed in an accident opens a can of worms, a can that was shut tight a long time ago. The way all this is related is interesting to say the least.The girl who gets caught up in the accident and the aftermath of it all is seventeen year old Karen. But the story isn't just about her. It is about her Grandmother, Kate, it is about the dead woman's daughter and it is about the woman who sought help from the one that was killed.Dark secrets and untold family histories emerge as the story progresses. It's not just a case-fought-in-the-court-with-thrills-in-the-investigation story. It encompasses a lot of things, like the aftermath of the Second World War, the stories of the families that migrated after the war, and about the bond in a family, the secrets one member keeps from another, and so many other things.The author Marta Tandori's passion for writing is reflected in her books and this story is no different. This is the second of her books that I have read and I am very impressed with what she has to offer to her readers. Not just from a plot's point of view but also the emotions that she takes the readers through. Many a times it felt like I was a part of the story myself and that made it extremely difficult to put down the book.I look forward to more books from the author. And to sign off, Too Little Too Late was a very good read that I enjoyed as much as I felt a part of it. Thank you for the wonderful story!
