Jenny Cain and her husband Geof are surprised one day when a 17 year old boy shows up on their door step claiming to be Geof's son. He wants Geof, who is a cop, to prove that his father didn't murder his mother and then commit suicide. The book wandered too much into weird discussions of religion and had a very depressing ending. I've read other books in the Jenny Cain series and liked them. ( ) Bad opening. Way too melodramatic, but she definitely made up for it later. Other than that, it was probably my second favorite of her works. Quite good. I didn't catch on until late in the book to the crux of things and I was totally stunned by the explanation of one of the character's motivations. Cain is so human. There is a passage when she talked about she and her husband. She saw herself through his eyes, he saw himself through her eyes and they became each other and became one. She couldn't separate dream from reality, but it was all so vivid. I knew what she was saying and she said it beautifully. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Jenny Cain (9)
"A freshly plotted, psychologically intriguing story." --Kirkus Reviews The ninth book in the award-winning Jenny Cain mystery series! Jenny Cain would never forget the hot Massachusetts summer day fate knocked at her door. Fate was a teenaged boy with rumpled clothes, a motorcycle, and a shocking but credible story: Jenny's husband, Geof, was his biological father. The boy, David Mayer, wasn't looking for an emotional reunion, but he did have an agenda. His parents--and he was quick to make the point that Geof was nothing to him--died earlier in the year, a murder/suicide according to the police. The cops were wrong, David said, and Geof was a cop, and he owed it to David to prove that Ron Mayer did not kill his invalid wife and then himself. As David lured Jenny and Geof to carefully placed clues, including two bizarre videotaped confessions of "sin," another murder was committed. And Jenny knew that no matter what the truth was about David Mayer's parents, her own life and marriage would be altered forever... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
