Acton and Doyle despite their vague resemblance to Sherlock and Watson are one of the sexiest, most dysfunctional and scariest couple there is in fiction, and that sh*t is only gonna get darker in Murder in Retribution, ladies and gents. I still have goose bumps thinking about this book. Kathleen and Michael's romance might not have been conventional previously, but now... In some parts of the book it left me speechless. Acton is a psychological dark and twisted pit, the depth of which we're only just starting to uncover along with Doyle. He is a sociopath, there is no doubt of it, maybe a psychopath, and he has an unshakeable fixation on Doyle. God help them both! On the other hand, their dynamics keep reminding me of Nora Roberts' In Death series, maybe because the sheer magnetism of this couple is akin to Rourke and Eve's? Murder in Retribution is a sinister book, which is underlined even better by Doyle's peculiar way of handling Acton and by his way of taking care of any threats to his beloved. Even Mundoz and Williams don't make it that much lighter although they are a pair of wonderful secondary characters. As usual, the police investigation into mafia wars in London connects all the dots perfectly in the end and stays secondary to the main focus on Acton and Doyle's personal development. Perhaps the only thing I was missing here was the insight into Acton's mind which we had in the beginning of each chapter in Murder in Thrall. Please, Anne Cleeland, bring my favorite psycho back! A superb, albeit disturbing read, not for the fainthearted but highly recommended! ( ) kara-karina | Nov 20, 2015 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:In Anne Cleeland's engaging and original new mystery series, two of Scotland Yard's most gifted detectives navigate the darkest corners of London to solve a murder that will blur every line between right and wrong. . . Despite their investigative prowess, Chief Inspector Michael Sinclair, Lord Acton, and rookie detective Kathleen Doyle stir more than a few feathers at CID Headquarters when their relationship comes to light. But office politics quickly become trivial when a rash of underworld murders shatters London's normally austere façade. With a growing list of successfully solved cases to her name, the ever-dauntless Doyle shakes off the gossip and sets out to investigate the escalating turf war. As the body count climbs, Doyle uncovers a seedy world where fractious members of the Russian mafia and an Irish terrorist group are fighting for control of a lucrative underground business. But their crooked deals and volleying acts of revenge are almost too much for Scotland Yard to keep up with, and when Doyle notices that Acton seems unusually troubled by the crimes, she begins to wonder what sparked the conflict in the first place. Perhaps there's nothing more to the murders than under-the-table business dealings gone awry. Or perhaps a single act of vigilante justice fanned the flames that ignited a vicious turf war. As Doyle and Acton fight not to become the next victims, they'll find that the truth may be best left unspoken, and retribution may be best left to fate. . . "[T]his entertaining pair will linger in readers' imaginations, making them want more." --Booklist Praise for Murder in Thrall "Thrilling...will keep you guessing until the very last page!" --Victoria Thompson, national bestselling author of Murder in Chelsea "It's been a long time since I encountered two characters this charming and engaging. I look forward to more of their adventures." --David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Murder as a Fine Art "The test of a good book is always how much one thinks about the characters when the book is done, and I am still wondering what would happen next." --Suspense Magazine "Cleeland has a smooth way of dialogue and many of her characters' conversations play like subtle games of reason and wit." --Daily Pilot Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
