A though provoking read. (  ) angelaoatham | Feb 21, 2017 | ★★★★ This is not an easy book to read however it is well written and does get you thinking and questioning. Set in a London school during the hottest summer on record this is the story of a school shooting and how the person who pulled the trigger is not the only one to blame. The story is told by the police officer investigating the case and her interviews with those affected by the incident, what starts out as a simple open and shut case (we know who pulled the trigger) becomes much more. While no one else cares about the reasons behind the shooting Lucia is determined to find out. What Lucia finds is institutionalised bullying, police corruption and the power of money to silence. From being a madman who shoots innocent children we learn what has actually been allowed,even sanctioned, within the school and can sympathise with how it could drive someone to kill. Not an enjoyable read but a worthwhile insight into the other side of school shootings.

HTML:A stunning debut novel that unravels the hidden story behind a school shooting It should be an open-and-shut case. Samuel Szajkowski, a recently hired history teacher, walked into a school assembly with a gun and murdered three students and a colleague before turning the weapon on himself. It was a tragedy that could not have been predicted. Szajkowski, it seems clear, was a psychopath beyond help. Yet as Detective Inspector Lucia May- the only woman in her high-testosterone office in the Criminal Investigations Department-begins to piece together the testimonies of the various witnesses, an uglier and more complex picture emerges, calling into question the innocence of others. But no one, including Lucia's boss, is interested. As the pressure to close the case builds and her colleagues' sexism takes a sinister turn, Lucia begins to realize that she has more in common with the killer than she could have imagined, and she becomes determined to expose the truth. Brilliantly interweaving the witnesses' accounts with Lucia's own perspective, A Thousand Cuts is a narrative tour de force from a formidable new voice in fictio Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
