If there is an author of detective who wakes up in me so much admiration rendered as to raise any fixture in classical literature, is Thomas H. Cook. This gifted creator of atmosphere and shady characters have been dedicated to cultivating talent with unmatched mix of thriller, Gothic romance and history of provoking mysteries that so far has yielded excellent results, as recommended works as "The Mystery of the Black Lagoon" "Orchids" or this little book masterpiece that is "Instruments of the Night", perhaps from his novels, the few who fall into the temptation to play with perceptions of the reader to his very (And overwhelming) final.

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.

Sherlock Holmes and the wisdom of the dead - Rodolfo Martinez

"I've often said, Watson, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable it may seem, is true. But what happens when you can not eliminate the impossible? "
Following a strange case of impersonation, the famous London detective becomes involved in a fierce sectarian intrigue Luciferian, the legendary Golden Dawn and Freemasonry Egyptian, for possession of the ultimate grimoire, a book that opens the gates of hell known by many names: Al Azif, the book they say the spirits of the Desert, the Book dead names ... or the Necronomicon. Rodolfo Martinez
placed face to face with two great literary myths of all times: the detective of Baker Street and Providence alone. The result is a gripping narrative that could be signed by that photographer and lover of fairy named Arthur Conan Doyle's spiritualism.

Is it possible to love a creature of fiction? Oh, yes. And my absolute love for Mr. Holmes has lasted me more than I've felt for some of my partners ... Cold, haughty, childishly selfish, ruthless and logical, brilliant in short, the researcher created by Arthur Conan Doyle is probably a literary personalities most attractive of the detective genre. On the negative side, it is always blamed some misogyny (although it is debatable, there is the story of Irene Adler to prove it and also his exquisite manners to the feminists to be cruising in his adventures), not to mention misanthropic tendencies only exception to his faithful friend Watson, who joins him not only a bombproof friendship but also an unbalanced set of roles in which the good doctor does not go very encouraged. In short, part of the skill with which it is built the character of Holmes assumes that it is a human being and as such, is composed of both virtues and defects in equal parts.

we know and love through their cases, some less prominent, others, like "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Hound of the Baskervilles", exciting and unforgettable, but Doyle's death, that was it invention. Substitutes will be happy with low-grade or enjoy others equally interesting but substantially different. Until now.

He asked if Doyle was a great lover of spiritualism, could ever imagine to be invoked with such skill through the talent and devotion of Rodolfo Martinez lucky. Its internalization in the world of Holmes and Watson, their ability to accurately recreate the style, atmosphere, the dialogues of the adventures of the detective, are amazing and give the reader the invaluable gift of being once again with some old and dear friends who had already written off forever. Martinez is not limited to expanding the frontiers of holmesiano world with new adventures, but also ventures into the fusion of two genres are as attractive as the detective and supernatural, mixing, for instance that some will make your mouth water classic detective adventures against the backdrop of the fabled Lovecraftian.

the merger is coming very graceful, though the first adventure is recounted in the book ("Sherlock Holmes and the wisdom of the dead ") I was very short and I missed a little more development. The second, however, I have little ambition, but I like the nods to Stoker. And the third is a standard case of Holmes besides being an excellent exercise in style, goes a step further evidence that Doyle could suggest, but never quite revealing.

The overall assessment is good, it leaves a great taste and also causes the itch of addiction . Fortunately, the author has not been in this book and has published several more, hopefully the same level as the first.'ll keep reporting.

Under the winds of Neptune - Fred Vargas

Adamsberg Commissioner is preparing to cross the Atlantic to be trained in a new research techniques that are developing their colleagues across the ocean. But do not know that the past has gotten into his bag and accompanies him on his journey. In Quebec you will find a young woman killed with three stab wounds and a string of murders all the same, committed by the mysterious Trident, a ghostly murderer chasing the young commissioner, forcing him to confront the one enemy to be afraid: self. Adamsberg this time has very serious problems

Amazing writer, amazing novel.

I can think of very few thriller writers I know who are able to begin a novel with a guy looking at a broken boiler and convert those lines into something fascinating. Fred Vargas, a writer with excellent press to which I had not had occasion to read a few days ago, offers superb detective novel composition and best prose, a literary level that gender-goers are not used to enjoy.

The story told in evocative name of "Under the winds of Neptune", Vargas proposes a criminal game as improbable as beautiful and fun, the pursuit of a dead murderer continues to claim victims with the help of his trident , Neptune psychotic whose past is closely related to the novel's protagonist, Inspector Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg. With the help of his subordinate Danglard, Adamsberg go a path strewn with wonderful delusions, from the wiles of an old hacker to the ductility of an imaginative monstrous police scuffle through the favored comic in the encounter with the police in Quebec, whose cast of characters is not wasted. And is that Vargas has real talent for sketching characters in a few lines, sometimes crazy characters and sometimes melancholy that might have come from the pen of Daniel Pennac imbued with the spirit of Agatha Christie.

The plot is bizarre, as we have said before: we must consider here is not to do anything close to reality, this is fiction and fiction of the good. Vargas is dreamy and playful, even something peliculera and yet is forgiven because it is a great novelist, which offers a level of evasion lacking most of the writers of best-seller. And only therefore, worth following closely in his footsteps and be done with other books in the library and read Adamsberg, if possible, in its splendid original French.

How Do Your Period Look

July 4 - James Patterson

For the first time in his life, Lindsay sits on the dock. A shootout in which things went wrong, one drink too many, a very young offender dead, a boy sentenced to a wheelchair ... And the police's most famous San Francisco in the eye of the hurricane. Harassed by the media, with the sole support of her lawyer and her old friends and colleagues of many cases Cindy and Claire, Lindsay seeks rest in the small rural town of Half Moon Bay. But the crime seems to go wherever you look, we soon find bodies in the quiet village, bodies slashed suspiciously reminiscent of one of his first cases as a policeman, several years ago. From that moment, the detective faces a double challenge: to defend her career and her dignity on the bench, and defend his life on the streets. We are here

before a clear example of how not to do detective story. This is hardly surprising considering that the author of "Kiss the Girls", "The Along Came a Spider" and "Mary, Mary" is a film writer in the worst sense of the word. His narrative pulls the topic, giving the impression of repeating patterns seen a thousand times since the onset of the first body and the description of the impressions of the protagonist, to the gimmicky-but not cash-final. Patterson made the mistake, once again, to resort to very short chapters, which is evident lack of momentum literary prose simplistic and cumbersome approach bestseller bad gives new meaning to the phrase "lack of pretension." Yes, here is everything: we have a shocking opening scene (perhaps the best novel), a sensational trial, chases, shootings, murderers, psychopaths and the occasional love scene between the protagonist, Lindsay and noviete. Any intention of realism absent. The presentation of the characters is nil, empathy with the reader, zero.

The little good that can be said of the novel is that, due to its shortness and its relentless pace and artificial, not boring.
