pickThis was a tough #SeriesRead2021. The storyline was great with multiple layers to the mystery BUT the early chapters were an emotional struggle for me. Contains very detailed, graphic depictions of lower Manhattan on 9/11. Ends on a cracker of a cliffhanger so I‘m sure I‘ll be picking up #5 sooner rather than later.
so-soMaybe it‘s me, but this just didn‘t warm my heart in any way. Did not hit home. I‘ve loved the first three in the series. I have a soft spot for Brighton which helps! A man fakes his death in the turmoil of 9/11. His wife gets compensation and insurance money. A few women are found dead. An older woman has been kidnapped. Roy and his team are hard on the case. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis novel just makes your mind turn in every direction and keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next, it is set into different perspectives and different times, nicely sectioned by chapters making it a lot easier to remember which character is being the narrator and also makes it easier if you need to put the book down (if you can) to get to end of the chapter and not be confused when you next pick up the book.
pickThis is #4 in the Roy Grace series.I was a little concerned since it involved 9/11 , he caught the horror of it without disrespecting the heroes or the victims.His ability to weave threads of the story together is very good.Love getting to know the reoccurring players in Roy‘s world.
#AnglophileApril This is the next Peter James on my list to read, and as with all mysteries, you read a few pages and #AnotherOneBitesTheDust
I‘m sure there are many that will enjoy this storytelling, but it wasn‘t really for me. The plot was a bit slow, and most of the twists could be seen coming. I didn‘t really engage with any of the characters, and the relationships between them were a bit superficial. Who buys a puppy without telling their partner? There was a bit of a cliffhanger at the end but it‘s not going to drag me back for another visit.
