There was less about his daughter this time which I found to be a bit of a distraction/digresson in the first one rather than an interesting aspect of Elder's life. The theme here is similar, a mid 50's detective retired to distant Cornwall who gets asked to help out with a current investigation that hasn't been solved by the police. Enjoyed the plot and characters, good pace, really nothing to fault it except the bits about his daughter again. Don't see how that adds anything to the plot or to our ability to like the character of Elder. Will definitely read the third one in this series. Haven't read any of his longer, earlier series featuring the detective Charlie Resnick but he is a good writer so I will definitely try a few of them too. ( ) This book does everything that one could wish for a good crime novel to do. The story is a tangled web of cases, some directly being reviewed by ex-DI Frank Elder, and others butting in to his investigation. I particularly like the way in which Harvey introduces his other famous detective, Charlie Resnick, in a cameo role. This gives an indescribable breath of reality to both men. The story paces along at a fair lick, and Harvey knows just the right amount of his detective's private life to introduce. A crime story poet: not a word wasted. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Frank Elder (2)
Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: In the depths of his Cornish hideaway, retired Detective Inspector Frank Elder's solitary life is disturbed by a call from his ex-wife, telling him his seventeen-year-old daughter, Katherine, is running wild, unbalanced by the abduction and rape he feels he should have prevented. Meanwhile, in the heart of London, the takedown of a violent criminal goes badly, and Detective Sergeant Maddy Birch is uneasy about the reasons why, an uneasiness that is compounded when she starts to believe she is being stalked. Maddy and Frank had a brief and clumsy encounter years before. In Ash & Bone their lives connect again when a second phone call persuades Elder out of retirement, only to find that a cold case has a devastating present-day impact. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
