Riverwood is a peaceful community that Allison Davies, the owner, has become a haven for writers and artists. A beautiful and idyllic place that once was the scene of a terrible crime without explanation or penalty: the murder of the young Faye Harrison, Allison's best friend. Now, fifty years later, Allison wants to find the answers to the mystery that truncated forever happiness and peace of Riverwood. For this contract to Paul Graves, a writer of detective novels whose characters sinister cult fascinate the public.
Identity Signs Cook enjoy excellent health: its ornate style, heavy on descriptive detail and suggested phantasmagoria never displayed, is subject to perfection to a story that unfolds in two ways: first, the resolution of a crime that occurred last fifty years, the young Faye Harrison and the other, the memories that torment the protagonist, the writer Paul Graves, a witness to the terrible death of his family at the hands of strangers. Cook envelops all these characters and events of a splendid and evocative atmosphere of mystery, a few writers in the genre managed with such skill that ability to raise the gloom and the enigmatic " not only causes the reader interested enough to let yourself get caught up to the final resolution, but also provides the pleasure of reading a very high-level prose literature.
Maybe not the best book to recommend to those who are looking for scares, action-packed chases or passages of heart, but to anyone who appreciates the value of a well-constructed literary work and all who enjoy soaking in the atmosphere; than done.
