( ) Koryta knows how to weave a fantastic story. In this one Perry investigates a cold case, the disappearance of a married couple after the husband’s body is found in Pennsylvania. The wife’s brother is a supposedly reformed mobster. Perry is hired by a felon who once worked as a groundskeeper for the couple. Although the crime and its resolution were fascinating in this book, Perry’s private life was not. There was a little too much angst for me. I’ll admit I grow weary of some crime fiction characters believing they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. But otherwise a very well plotted (and well resolved) mystery. This was a quick read, but not very engaging. Lots of talking, very little action. What action there was, at the end, was pretty good, and two decent twists to go with it! But pretty boring up 'till then. I did love the description of the house in the woods and found myself wishing I could see it! Especially the door that seemed to lead nowhere. It certainly painted a picture for me and I wish it were real! The last of the Lincoln Perry novels: fair to middlin' book. Koryta weaves an engrossing tale with some unexpected twists, The first half was pretty exciting and kept my interest, then the book slowed down in the middle and the ending was disappointing. The mystery wasn't solved until just the last few minutes.The Silent Hour is really for fans, like me, who want to see what happens next.... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: Whisper Ridge, a multimillion-dollar architectural project that was to host a unique program for paroled murderers, was the passion of Alexandra Sanabria, the daughter of a deceased Mafia don. But the program never got off the ground. The abandoned home now remains as a strange monument to dangerous secrets, kept off the market with taxes paid by a legal trust that Sanabria established just before she and her husband left town. While the couple's abrupt exit was unique, it was also not regarded as criminalâ??until the bones of Alexandra's husband were found more than a decade later. Private Investigator Lincoln Perry isn't thrilled about the situationâ??or his client. Parker Harrison served fifteen years for murder, but he claims Alexandra's intervention saved his life, and now he wants to find her. It is a task that will challenge both Perry's abilities as a detective and his commitment to that calling. Once again Michael Koryta has crafted an intricate, fast-paced thriller, ratcheting up the tension as he explores just how dangerous the offer of a second chance can be Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
