Monsters do exist. They really do. They are not a fairy tale.

Ten-year-old Billy Hall met a monster in his own seemingly peaceful neighborhood in Hampton, Ohio. Her name was Nancy Sutcliffe; she drove the Good Humor truck. All the kids on the block loved her, as did their parents. That is until one day when Nancy would do the unthinkable, harm a child. Harm Billy.

This would set the stage for warfare a showdown between Billy’s mother and the Good Humor employee. Someone was going to die.

Wouldn’t describe as ‘gripping’! It started ok. I wouldn’t unreservedly as a psychological thriller. It was more about the abuse of a boy. About a half to three quarters through it really lost my interest and wasn’t the kind of book I enjoy. I did finish it, but easiest feeling that I wished I hadn’t started it.

The Bad Lady is a sad and poignant story The Bad Lady is a sad and poignant story that focuses on Billy Hall, a young 10 year old boy growing up with his mother Bridgette in Hampton, Ohio. During the summer of 1998, Billy develops a friendship with an ice cream vendor who then sexually abuses him. The story explores the consequences of that act and the impact that it has on Billy and his mother. As you can probably imagine, this novel is heavy going but the story is gripping and the characters are really well described. John Meany…

Interesting This is the first book I have read from this author and I couldn’t put it down. Interesting reading. Reading it through Billy ten years old you could feel the confusion at not knowing what abuse meant and the effect it had on his mother. Would I read another book by this author probably would I recommend this book yes.
