Lädt ... The Red Queen Diesvon Frankie Y. Bailey
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) cspiwak | Mar 6, 2024 |  The novel focuses on three murders, two of which seem related and a third of a famous Broadway actress which has a few traits of the others but not all and the novel focuses on the two detectives putting together the clues and figuring out who is responsible. It was interesting enough, focusing on the detectives research efforts and talking to various suspects and putting it all together...and there was a enough mystery and clues thrown in to make it engaging. Though I did find it dragging a little towards the end. The story was good enough that I didn't actually guess who the killer was until it was revealed but it felt...a little bit...sort of...oh that's it? when they were finally caught. Over all, a good read and I would definitely read something from this author again. (  ) sunset_x_cocktail | Aug 20, 2014 | bfister | May 4, 2014 |  ) celticlady53 | Sep 10, 2013 | There is no short answer to what comprises The Red Queen Dies. It’s a mystery/thriller police procedural with strong ties to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Beyond the Looking Glass. It also gives a nod to The Wizard of Oz. Lastly, it’s a near-future novel but it has links to Lincoln’s assassination. Sound complicated and unlikely? Well complicated yes, but it actually all makes perfect sense in a down-the-rabbit-hole kind of way when you’re reading it. I’m just glad I wasn’t the police officer assigned to this case.

et in Albany, N.Y., in 2019, this intriguing series opener from Bailey (Death’s Favorite Child and three other Lizzie Stuart mysteries) introduces biracial police detective Hannah McCabe...Readers will enjoy this mildly disorienting future, in which much remains the same (e.g., the city still can’t get no respect) while much has changed (e.g., the Yankees have been on a losing streak for years).

Frankie Bailey introduces readers to a fabulous new protagonist and an Alice in Wonderland-infused crime in this stunning mystery, which kicks off an exciting new series set in the near future. The year is 2019, and a drug used to treat soldiers for post-traumatic stress disorder, nicknamed "Lullaby," has hit the streets. Swallowing a little pill erases traumatic memories, but what happens to a criminal trial when the star witness takes a pill and can't remember the crime? When two women are murdered in quick succession, biracial police detective Hannah McCabe is charged with solving the case. In spite of the advanced technology, including a city-wide surveillance program, a third woman is soon killed, and the police begin to suspect that a serial killer is on the loose. But the third victim, a Broadway actress known as "The Red Queen," doesn't fit the pattern set by the first two murders. With the late September heat sizzling, Detective Hannah McCabe and her colleagues on the police force have to race to find the killer in a tangled web of clues that involveAlice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz,and Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Fast-paced and original, this is a one-of-a-kind mystery from an extremely talented crime writer. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
