Thriller Story appeared to have promise although plot doesn't track sometimes and story doesn't move along but is pushed with a verbose array of words, saying little and doing nothing.Characters had potential and setting is magnificent so I read more than I normally would have but pushed ahead in hope until at about page 90 I realized the early promises would not be fulfilled. I understand there are other books in the series. I will try a later book to see if practice might make perfect after all. Author is a fascinating person that I think I would really like knowing, who lives and has lived an exciting and adventurous life--I'd hate to take her off my list just yet as this particular book could well be nothing like the others. The potential that gives a slight glimmer here needs to be given another chance to flower. I received this book as a review copy. I was surprised as to its easy read. I enjoy stories that take place in out of the way areas of the county. They tend to give a peek into small town life and foibles. Shiver Hitch does just that - It moves from a small town, Green Haven, Maine to an even smaller island . The interplay between the characters is interesting and warm. It revolves around a body found in a burned out home on the island. There is a cannery staffed by ex-cons (not a favorite of the locals). and locals who don't care for the way the deceased ran the business. Throw in an angry sea to hamper the investigation and you have an interesting and compelling story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Jane Bunker thought she'd escaped the pollution, noise, and dead bodies of the big city when she left her job as a Miami homicide detective and moved back to the idyllic town of Green Haven, Maine. But through her work as a marine insurance investigator, it appears she's left behind the bustle of the city, but not the murder. When Jane is called to the remote Acadia Island to assess the damages from a house fire, she also finds a badly burned body in the charred rubble, and it turns out that the victim is the owner of the house, a wealthy woman who just happens to be one of the most hated women in town. As Jane investigates further, she becomes embroiled in a plot as thick as New England clam chowder, which involves convicted felons, a real estate scam, and the deep conflicts between the locals and the summer folks. On top of trying to find what might be a murderer on the loose, Jane is still living with her bonkers landlords, the Vickersons, who are delighted when Jane finds out that her brother Wally (who has Down's syndrome) is going to move in with them, after losing his assisted living arrangement. It's all Jane can do to keep all the moving pieces together, much less figure out who would want to burn someone alive--and why"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
