This book is the embodiment of what a well written psychological thriller should be. The characters are highly developed and complex with a variety of traits and different sides to their personalities. Detectives Gardener and Reilly are protagonists with their witty banter and sharp sleuthing skills who are well-suited to hunt down the merciless antagonist, The Tooth Fairy. I don't want to give anything away, so let's just say the nickname is a bit ironic. The plot is remarkably twisted and original with the killer's methods of torturing and murdering his victims. There are many surprises in store for the reader even when they assume they have the mystery solved. Though this is the third in a series, which I have not read, it stands on its own. I highly recommend this thriller and plan to read the others in the series. More reviews at https://eclecticreview.com. *** Trigger warning: mildly to middlin’ graphic violence. Implant is second in Clark’s Gardener & Reilly mystery/ suspense series. After the tortured remains of a young man are found in the basement of a hardware store, detectives Gardener and Reilly are called to the drowsy hamlet of Bramfield to investigate. The body of Alex Wilson offers many surprises for the investigators. He is bound to a frame, crucified in a manner. Wired into the body, like a Frankenstein experiment gone wrong, an internal insulin pump delivers a deadlier payload to it's victim. A pair of cards is found nearby, one a tarot card, and the other an obscure game card labelled 'Inspector Catcher. As more bodies surface, complete with deadly implants and mysterious cards, Gardner and Reilly race to solve the puzzle before any others die. Revenge is a powerful motivator. With Implant, Clark shows just how powerful. A quick-fire ride, escalating rapidly, the case comes closed in a few short days. It's planning, though, that's a different story, for the best revenge is well-thought out. It didn't take me too long to figure out the culprit, but learning the why kept me engaged. The implants and experiments were terrifying. These things were supposed to help save lives. Instead, they were used to brutally take them. I appreciated the humour between Gardener and Reilly. Despite it being a relatively quick read for me, I felt I really got to know the pair. Recommended! Perfect for fans of Seven and The Bone Collector. ***Many thanks to Love Books Tours and the author for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Gardener and Reilly Crime Series (book 3)
Bramfield, near Leeds, a sleepy little market town nestled on the borders of West and North Yorkshire. Detectives Stewart Gardener and Sean Reilly discover the naked corpse of Alex Wilson, nailed to the wall of a cellar in his uncle's hardware store. His lips are sewn together and his body bears only one mark, a fresh scar near his abdomen. Within forty-eight hours, their investigation results in dead ends, more victims, no suspects and very little in the way of solid evidence. Gardener and Reilly have a problem and a question on their hands: are the residents of Bramfield prepared for one of history's most sadistic killers, The Tooth Fairy? For fans of Peter May, Mark Billingham and Peter James. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
