Everyone seemed to constantly talk in circles, only saying part of what they meant or misunderstanding each other. It made it hard to follow and frustrating to get through in parts. It does have a role with the main character but it spread to most of the others too. Many thanks to Flame Tree Press for the ARC. (  ) AngelaJMaher | Nov 27, 2018 | By Ramsey Campbell 2014/2018 Flametree David Botham is bored with his job at a travel agency, managed by his ex-girlfriend. He is tired of planning dream vacations and tired of his ho-hum life. One day an online blog appears, its title one he made up but has never used. The posts describe a series of brutal slayings in Liverpool, that ominously implicate him. They are at locations he has been, at times he has been there. The blog uses language and slang he typically uses. He begins to wonder if he is somehow responsible.....or has lost his mind....he begins to question his own actions and his own reasons for being at those places at those times.... I did like the plot of this story. However, I thought the humor was not funny, just mean and insulting. It took away from the book, made it tedious and hard to finish, but i will admit I do not typically enjoy this type of humor. There were parts of the book that were really well written and engaging, and I wish it had more of that in the plot, rather than just drudgy humor. I am still interested in reading more of his work, hopefully the meanness follows only this particular character. Thanks for flametree, and netgalley for this ARC for review. #ThinkYourselfLucky #netgalley over.the.edge | Oct 26, 2018 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Campbell on vintage form." - Crime Time David Botham just wants a quiet ordinary life--his job at the travel agency, his relationship with his girlfriend Stephanie. The online blog that uses a title he once thought up has nothing to do with him. He has no idea who is writing it or where they get their information about a series of violent deaths in Liverpool. If they're murders, how can the killer go unseen even by security cameras? Perhaps David won't know until they come too close to him--until he can't ignore the figure from his past that is catching up with him... FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launching in 2018 the list brings together brilliant new authors and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original voices. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
