A Soldier's Tale door Larry Parr
In Francia, durante la seconda guerra mondiale, un giovane soldato britannico incontra casualmente una ragazza del luogo, Belle, e se ne innamora. Anche la ragazza lo ricambia e gli rivela di essere una collaborazionista. Il dilemma morale del soldato esplode in tutta la sua drammaticità quando si trova a dover scegliere tra il salvare Belle o abbandonarla nelle mani degli uomini della Resistenza venuti per ucciderla. (fonte: Mymovies)
Francia 1944. Saul, un soldato Inglese, incontra durante un weekend una ragazza Francese di nome Belle. Tra i due è subito grande amore, ma l'idillio è ostacolato da una presunta collaborazione avvenuta fino a pochi mesi prima tra la ragazza e i nazisti, fortemente denunciata da tutti i suoi compaesani. Tre membri della resistenza arrivano per uccidere Belle. Saul è però determinato a proteggerla e non riesce ad accettare di dover fare una scelta. Ma l'unica via di scampo è scegliere tra l'amore e la giustizia.… (meer)
If you're a fan of mysteries, thrillers and paranormal, you'll enjoy Latent Lives. Author Larry Parr delivers an exciting, fast-paced murder mystery plot with lots of action in this first book of his series.
There's not too much that I didn't like in this book. I love when I'm reading a book, and I think I know where the story is going, but then the author throws in a curve and I'm caught off guard. That is how much of this book was for me, and it made it that much more exciting.
The main characters were great. I loved John Stauber, former cop and currently dealing with his own demons. When John gets called to help on an investigation by a client, he has doubts that he would be any good, but he follows `that thing' in his gut and proceeds to get in the middle of a nasty murderers killing spree.
Linda Lavaque is the survivor of the prominent family that was murdered and seeks the help on John. She is also a strong character, who is not going to let this killer stop her from handling her families daily affairs. I was a bit suspicious of her at first, couldn't quite tell if she was `real' with her relationships with some of the characters, but I grew to admire her.
The last character I'll mention is Jamie Stauber, John's sister. I didn't really like her, she was weak, dependent, and `mousey'. Although she wasn't a strong character, she was a key player and I believe her character was meant to be weak.
Overall, this was a fun, fairly `clean' read. The murders that took place were brutal, but you don't get any of the grisly details. The romance was there, but no love scenes. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy for review from the author, and all opinions are my own.… (meer)
