La investigadora privada Hannah Wolfe, que es independiente aunque no invencible, idealista pero definitivamente no ingenua, ha asumido uno de los trabajos menos glamorosos en el mundo de la seguridad: acompañar al rebelde adolescente Mattie Shepherd en Londres. Pero el padre de Mattie le está pagando mucho dinero a Hannah, más de lo que vale el trabajo, al parecer. O tal vez no. El padre de la niña está en la lista negra del Frente de Liberación Animal. ¿Pero por qué? Cuando estalla la violencia, destrozando a la familia, esto es lo que Hannah debe descubrir. Su obsesión por la verdad casi la mata, arruinando su vida privada y arrastrándola a un vórtice de mentiras y traiciones. 3.25 stars Hannah Wolfe is a private investigator, but usually her jobs are pretty mundane. She is hired to “protect” a 14-year old girl, Mattie, for one day. She has been told that Mattie’s mother may try to kidnap her. Mattie’s father is a scientist who, in trying to find a cure for cancer, tests on animals. Things go very wrong, and Hannah is left to figure out how it all happened. It was all right, although if I put it down, I wasn’t really all that compelled to pick it up again real soon. I was afraid there might be parts that would be difficult for me to read, depending how much detail she went into in describing some of the animal testing, but it wasn’t as bad as I was afraid it might be. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A decade before her dazzling breakthrough novel, "The Birth of Venus, " author Sarah Dunant won Britain's prestigious Silver Dagger award for "Fatlands, " a Hannah Wolfe mystery. In "Fatlands, " private investigator Hannah Wolfe, who's independent though not invincible, idealistic but definitely not naive, has taken on one of the less glamorous jobs in the security world -- chaperoning teenage rebel Mattie Shepherd around London. But Mattie's father is paying Hannah lots of money -- more than the job is worth, it seems. Or perhaps not. The girl's father is on the Animal Liberation Front's hit list. But why? When violence explodes, tearing the family apart, this is what Hannah must discover. Her obsession with the truth nearly kills her, wrecking her private life and dragging her into a vortex of lies and betrayal. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
