Immoral - Brian Freeman


Lieutenant Jonathan Stride is suffering an unpleasant episode of déjà vu. For the second time in a year, a pretty teenager has disappeared from the streets of Duluth, a small, quiet town on the banks of a lake. Victims can not be more different: first was the sweet Kerry McGrath and now Rachel Deese is a problem and seductive girl.
Stride pressuring media to capture what they see as a serial murderer, but he tormented by the loss of his wife and their inability to solve the case of Kerry, does not believe that the solution is simple. In fact, as you unravel the mysteries of the case of Rachel, warns that it is much more complex and evil.

This is my first encounter with Brian Freeman, author nominated for the Gold Dagger and published in Spain by the library plot, belonging to Ediciones B . Unfortunately, the commercial hook of the novel lies in selling "originality", which from the first moment you start with an expectation that it will soon be disappointed to recognize many elements already read in other stories of similar nature. Nor does it mean that the book is bad, on the contrary, in its dual nature of best-selling novel and intimate, convinces with a very disturbing story, even addictive in its final stretch. Now it is evident that the author knows perfectly all mechanisms to keep the author in the air, which gets loosely with a colorful history that presents a teenage femme fatale (Rachel the former, true protagonist of the story), a transcript and sexual perverse "Laura "Preminger's or" Rebecca "by Du Maurier , its shadow, either alive or dead, hangs over the novel with unusual persistence.
Alas, for now, the whole has a whiff of fried, to digest all those responsible for policing in vogue (from Michael Connelly Dennis Lehane to through or Henning Mankell Val McDermid ) and of course, the prose falters often laden topics such as the police blitz widower and his relationship with the teacher or the sensational trial. All Freeman lacks in style it makes up a certain skill, retaining readers and less demanding at the mercy of their history and character. The best, without doubt, the division of the plot into two parts, the time when girls disappear, and years later, the final solution of the mystery that is revealed as logical as satisfactory for puzzle lovers well armed. The ideal novel for a boring Sunday afternoon.

The White Road - John Connolly



"In South Carolina, a young black man faces the death penalty on charges of raping and murdering Marianne Larousse, daughter of one of the richest men in the state. The case, which nobody wants to investigate, is rooted in an evil back to the distant past, the type of mystery that has become the specialty of detective Charlie Parker. He knows that is about to plunge into a real nightmare and introduced into a blood-stained scene that mixes the spectrum murderer of a hooded woman, a black car waiting for a passenger that never comes, and the complicity of both friends and foes in the events surrounding the death of Marianne Larousse. Rather than an investigation, is a descent into the abyss, a confrontation with the dark forces that threaten all that Parker loves. "



Connolly, an author who entered the police-esoteric genre with the first novel Charlie Parker series, "Everything dies" I care enough to keep a watchful eye each time you publish a new job. Unfortunately, as is un-American author of crime novels and enters southern lands that could be considered fantasy, he begins to lose some of its literary bellows, because of arguments that mix Satan entangled with the Mafia, historical relics with angels Fallen, beautiful tormentors with wars between Good and Evil with a capital. But still, "The White Road" keeps the curious magic Connelly deployed at the beginning of the series: a formula that combines the environment Voodoo fan, stifling South Carolina, tortured and complex characters, ghostly, frightening psychopaths and blood, many human blood. With a powerful flashback which tells the burning of a poor man by the Ku Klux Klan, Connolly picks up the loose ends and left in "Everything dies" and "Profile murderer" and rescues the charismatic Reverend Faulkner, one of the most heinous serial killer novels seen in this category (I refer to Hannibal Lecter.) This means that readers who are interested to become familiar with the author, must begin with the first book, because the volumes in the series can neither be read independently.
back to "The White Road", Connolly magnifies your best resources here: both a description of atmospheres and landscapes with morbid detail (those swamps get really get the reader between the stinking fumes and rotting vegetation of the place) as a splendid dialogues "Charlie Parker's interview with Faulkner is retrospective, and the irruption of supernatural elements that would lower the tone of the novel, increase the sense of mystery and power beyond human understanding that the author has hinting since the series began. Too bad that reading sometimes stumbled forward, holds and weaknesses of a very thick narrative ambition, who wants to cover too much and ultimately falls short. A Connolly will miss the spider plots, which has a hard time picking the threads that have been scattering to Throughout his novels. In "The White Road" gets more poise than in his previous novels and closes the story with us clean and painless, leaving a good taste of a satisfactory reading, even thrilling.

"Berlin 1945" is five stories Red blood on a steel-gray background. The story of a horribly sadistic killer PsychokilleR blonde women in Berlin during the postwar period would be only a mediocre and dramatic thriller were it not for the tremendous literary reconstruction of the time, the city and the characters that breathe life and drama on all four sides.

As the redeemer of those five dark souls, Dietrich inspector, a weak link in the bureaucratic chain remains in a precarious balance between collaborating with allied forces that have disrupted social order and obedience to their old methods.

Harry Potter Fry Audiobook

Chameleon - Peter Robinson



The number 35 of any street, there is any house belonging to a young couple either. But is about to become infamous. When police officers
Janet Taylor and Dennis Morrisey are sent home to attend a domestic violence case, they encounter a grisly scene. One scene involved the death of one and fighting for his life and career of another.

Big words. The afortunadísimo cocktail of suspense, drama and terror that makes up the black heart of this novel has the elements needed to stay and live in the reader's head with the lingering aroma of a classic. Peter Robinson
What is a drop in full-blown beyond hell. Admittedly, the story of a serial murderer in the most ancient tradition of the Gacy, Gein, West, Dutrou or Chikatilo of this world, the writer advocates a kind of novel that can easily slip in and pseudogore stark. But Robinson is a clever enough writer to shun the temptations and should focus not only on the grim portrait of the protagonist and his basement, but also in how evil, spread in concentric waves can affect the past, present and future of all those that have haunted his shadow.
The book reads at a stretch due to its fragmented structure which includes several research threads simultaneously and is very well run with a steady rhythm and dynamic. They must also be tormented characters and / or personal crisis, from the Inspector Banks novel's protagonist, who keeps a tug of love with a fellow professional while still thinking about your ex until the collapse Police Janet Taylor, who has seen the death of mate in his arms without doing anything about it. The criminal plot horrifies and fascinates in equal measure, the catalog of brutality recounted arriving about the case is not for weak hearts or irritable sensibilities. And with the added achievement that tension remains despite knowing who the murderer from almost the beginning of the novel, a murderer who turns out to be an intriguing puzzle whose key elements researchers should look carefully, suspecting the existence an accomplice.
Finally, what about a detective whose production must have alienated the planets, porque lo tiene todo. Teniendo en cuenta además que viene del privilegiado y siniestro cerebro de un escritor cuyo talento no hace más que crecer con los años.
