Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Very good. My favorite mystery writer. Story about murder of man & woman at Nine Sisters Henge, leads to blackmail and suicides. Despite being over 700 pages, this doesnt feel that long. Havers finally hears of the results of the investigation into what caused her suspension in a previous book, and things arent good: Demoted to Constable, with Lynley now frustrated with and no longer believing in her, she's put on desk duties when Lynley and Winstone go to Derbyshire to investigate the death of an ex-policeman's daughter. Naturally, she doesnt follow orders, which puts added friction between her and her boss, as well as putting strain between Lynley and his new wife.[return][return]Meanwhile, there's a killer who has struck twice, and there are plenty of suspects. Diffido spesso dei gialli seriali di grande successo. E, onestamente, prendo in mano questo voluminoso libro con grande diffidenza, augurandomi che la lettura mi smentisca. E invece non trovo mai brio, pagine scritte per allungare inutilmente il brodo. È molto difficile che io non finisca un libro ma, onestamente, dopo qualche giorno mi rendo conto che la lentezza con cui affronto la lettura di questo libro deriva dalla consapevolezza che è una storia banale. E non va bene perdere tempo solo per un principio o per ostinazione. Per cui a meno di un terzo abbandono la lettura e il giudizio non può che essere pessimo. "Nicola Maiden, dotter till en pensionerad detektiv vid Scotland Yard, hittas mördad mitt i en förhistorisk stencirkel i Derbyshire. I närheten återfinns en mördad oidentifierad man. Kommissarie Thomas Lynley får uppdraget att utreda omständigheterna kring deras död. Han måste göra det utan sin assistent sedan många år, Barbara Havers. Inspektör Havers har degraderats på grund av tjänstefel som hon gjorde sig skyldig till i samband med en utredning av ett mord i den lilla badorten Balford-le-Nez, men Barbara Havers är inte den som ger upp. Hon har egna planer och de handlar om just det fall Lynley är inkopplad på." sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML:Calder Moor is a wild and deadly place: many have been trapped in the myriad limestone caves, lost in collapsed copper mines, injured on perilous gritstone ridges. But this time, when two bodies are discovered in the shadow of the ancient circle of stones known as Nine Sisters Henge, it is clearly not a case for Mountain Rescue. The corpses are those of a young man and woman. Each met death in a different fashion. Each died violently. To Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, brought in to investigate by special request, this grisly crime promises to be one of the toughest assignments of his career. For the unfortunate Nicola Maiden was the daughter of a former officer in an elite undercover unit, a man Lynley once regarded as a mentor. Now, as Lynley struggles to find out if Nicola's killer was an enemy of her father's or one she earned herself, a disgraced Barbara Havers, determined to redeem herself in the eyes of her longtime partner, crisscrosses London seeking information on the second murder victim. Yet the more dark secrets Lynley and Havers uncover, the more they learn that neither the victims nor the suspects are who they appear to be. And once again they come up against the icy realization that human relationships are often murderous...and that the blood that binds can also kill. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
