The Hidden Hours

2.5 STARS Arabella's body in found the morning after the office Christmas party. It is not known if she was pushed or fell from a great height. The only person who may have the answers is Eleanor, who has a murky background. As the office temp, she was most likely the last person who talked to Arabella. Unfortunately, for some reason, Eleanor has no memory of those hours leading to Arabella's death. Not only do the police look at her as a possible suspect, but people around Eleanor are looking at her with suspicion. But can she trust her memory while seeking the truth? This is a character driven novel, with the police investigation taking a back burner to the story. Eleanor is explored and explained from start to finish, with a lot of repetitiousness. Without the investigation, it became rather boring rather quickly. I had expected an exciting thriller, but I was, sadly, disappointed.
