I was sorry to say 'Goodbye' to Joe Faraday, even sorrier when I realised there's no chance of his making a come-back. Still, Jimmy Suttle and his strained home-life seems after all to be quite an acceptable substitute. As interesting as his battles to find out whether a murder has been committed, or whether there's simply been an unfortunate accident is the story of his wife's disenchantment with his dreams of country life. An absorbing read ( ) I did not get much out of this - read it quickly fearing I might never finish otherwise. I was not enthralled by the characters but I think the real problem was place. There was a lot of description of places but none of it joined up for me - a lot of driving along the A38 which to me means Burton-on-Trent so that didn't help. The Farraday books stirred an interest in Portsmouth, a town I know nothing of, but this one name checks a lot of places without really building a coherent picture that might stimulate someone to want to know more.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Jimmy Suttle (1)
D/S Jimmy Suttle has finally tired of the relentless struggle against the rising tide of urban crime in Portsmouth. Surely a job in Major Crimes in the West Country will offer some respite? He finds a remote cottage nestled in a fold of Dartmoor and, with his wife and two year old daughter, heads West for what he is sure will be a saner existence. How wrong could he be? Soon he is investigating the murder of a long-distance rower in the small town of Exmouth. The man rowed in the same 5-man boat as a man who, two years before, dodged a murder charge when his wife went missing during a cross atlantic rowing challange. There had been tensions between the two. Has a killer killed again? As the job takes over, Lizzie, Suttle's wife, is increasingly unhappy about the move. Trying to juggle family life with her own new job on a local paper, isolated in a lonely cottage with a demanding toddler and struggling to make new friends, Lizzie thought the whole point of the move was that she and Suttle could at least see more of each other. As his marriage frays at the edges and his first investigation becomes mired Suttle begins to feel the hills around their cottage crowding in, the wind over the moors above ever chillier, the waters ever greyer. He really has reached land's end . . . Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
