Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. while the amnesiac detective plot has been done quite a bit, it is rarely done as well as it was in this book. ( ) Interesting characters and quite a twist to have the main character, Detective Monk, face memory issues. Intriguing, well written, very descriptive of settings, characters and William Monk’s challenge to discover who he was and is. Didn’t guess who did it! Now I want to read more books in this series. I went hot and cold on this one. It was just beginning to pall when a new character was introduced, a spinster woman just back from nursing in the Crimean war. I liked her fairly well. The main character, Mr. William Monk, seemed a bit dull to me, but he was just recovering his memory after an accident and so I suppose his hesitations and vagueness were realistic, even if they got old after a while. The writing was pretty good, although there were still times when I thought the author was getting a bit too psychoanalytical to be the inward voice of a Victorian gentleman. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In this exhilarating series debut, police detective William Monk must solve the mystery of his own past. His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk's efforts doubly difficult, since he's forgotten his professional skills along with everything else. "Richly textured with the sights and sounds of London and its countryside . . . Solidly absorbing and Perry's best to date."--Kirkus Reviews Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
