Generally, I don't finish a book I don't like so it never appears here. This one is an exception. I didn't really like it but I'm not sure it's not worth reading. It's one of the darkest mysteries I've ever read. Gabriel and Ingrid Santerre are a couple with money and power and they kill young prostitutes. Caroline Reece, NYPD detective, wants to prove this and she wants it badly. While you read the book, you can literally see a black and white movie of it in your head complete with ominous sound track. Interesting. ( ) I picked this book up when a relative was throwing out a pile of books. Seemed to be a crime story - and the front page included the word EROTIC. So now, researching for my novel, seemed like a good choice. So disappointing. Mainly made up of conversations between dysfunctional characters, going nowhere, advancing the story little. And then, reality check. Police that don't follow process. Police that discharge weapons in apartment buildings and no one notices, no reports filed, the shot person escaping with no pursuit or report. And every police person except one or two on the payroll of the rich bad guy. And a dead person, carried by the killer in a golf bag, into a police station, with the police completely aware, and no one chooses to open the bag. And nothing erotic in any sense... And then I was just glad to finish... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Gabriel and Ingrid Santerre are a wealthy, highly connected couple with a savage kink: In the privacy of a posh New York City hotel suite, they like to subject teenage prostitutes to extremely rough sex. This time, though, they've gone too far, and their victim is dead. As Gabriel goes out to buy a golf bag to hide the body in, Ingrid, strangely passive and long brutalized by her husband, suddenly feels remorse and calls the police. The two are swiftly taken into custody and separated; Gabriel calls in his high-powered lawyer and calmly schemes to frame his wife. But NYPD detective Caroline Reese won't let him get away with it. Despite Gabriel's connections--reaching right into the district attorney's office--and a warning from her lieutenant that she's proceeding at her own risk, Reese finds the one woman who can lead her to the truth. Reese's quest is blocked not only by Gabriel's pull, but by a violent episode in her own past--one that has left her with a blind spot that keeps her from seeing the whole picture about Gabriel and his wife. Bringing an exciting new voice to the noir thriller, Heather Lewis coolly and masterfully builds the tension until the novel's shattering--and deeply satisfying--payoff.
