This was a fast-paced crime mystery with protagonist, Jo Larsen, heading the investigation into the disappearance of Jenny Dielman, a woman grieving for her 3 year-old son. The plot was solid and made sense, but Jo seemed a little too flawed and unreasonably obsessed with her job. Her partner, Hank, and her boyfriend, Adam, both try to protect her from herself, but Jo seems hell-bent on punishing herself for being a victim as a child. But, even though, her dedication seems over the top, Jo is a likeable character and she did rescue the cat, Ernie. Although the plot was somewhat predictable, the story moved along and wrapped up nicely at the end. Very entertaining. Picked this as my Kindle First book for November (I believe). I don't have too much to say about it, but I did enjoy it from beginning to end. Started slowly but built up quickly, and since I can be pretty oblivious and not the type to see twist endings coming (my boyfriend is much better at that!), it kept me guessing until the very end. I liked the characters, Hank and Jo in particular, in no small part because she's an animal lover like I am, and I found her easily relatable. Story is told mostly from her POV with interspersed chapters of entries from Jenny (the victim's) journal. Writing was good, as well. Definitely would check out Ms. McBride's future works =) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Jo Larsen (1)
When Patrick Dielman shows up at Detective Jo Larsen's desk insisting that his wife, Jenny, is missing, Jo wonders if it's a case of a bored housewife running away. But as she digs deeper into Jenny's life, Jo learns that Dielman keeps a stranglehold on the family finances, down to the last nickel, and that Jenny's first marriage dissolved following the death of her young son. By all accounts, including her doctor's, she never recovered from the loss. Between a controlling husband, a tragic past, and a callous ex-husband, Jo can't be sure if she should suspect foul play or accept that the woman may have wanted to disappear. For Jo, whose own demons are shadowing her every step, finding Jenny becomes more than the typical protect-and-serve. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
