An interesting story with a couple of good plot twists, but the ending was ultimately unsatisfying. ( ) What happens when a child is abused and not believed? In this case a murder or maybe murders spanning generations. Ali Reynolds has been dealing with a friend’s daughter who has run away and is lying. But, also refusing to tell police the details of a brutal beating she witnessed when on the road. Ali finds herself on the moral ground of doing what is right AND what she has been advising Crystal to do; inform the police of a crime or the suspicion of a crime. She is stunned when they admonish her saying she is trying to insert herself into police a investigation and don't want to listen to her! A suspenseful journey with a teenage runaway, AND murders in the past and present that kept me on the edge of my chair. I always enjoy reading an Ali Reynolds novel. This one was pretty good, but it did disappoint me a little bit. Not that the writing was bad or anything, just that it didn't feel suspenseful enough. Maybe it had too much going on. I don't know. I just feel that engaged while reading it. This follows blogger Ali Reynolds as she becomes involved in two murder cases. One involving the daughter of a friend. I do recommend reading it, it is still a pretty good book. Another quick read. And I cried quite a bit. So many of the characters touched my heart. I even felt affection for the homosexuals (not that I agree that what they are doing is right). Most of the bad people were truly bad, not just venal, selfish and mean. Two distinct murder sprees were involved, one lasting several years and possibly mitigated by the insanity of the perpetrator. Good endings somehow managed to emerge. Highly recommended. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance returns with her "compelling...satisfying" (USA TODAY) third novel in the gripping suspense series featuring ex-television journalist Ali Reynolds. With his hand trapped in the door of a speeding car, a man struggles to remain upright as he's dragged along a deserted stretch of San Juan Road in Phoenix's South Mountain Preserve. It's the perfect place to drive a man to his grave—literally. Starting with a crime so gruesome even prowling coyotes keep their distance from the remains, a killer begins crisscrossing the Southwest on a spree of grisly murders. A hundred miles away, Ali Reynolds is grieving. The news-casting job she once delighted in is gone—and so is the philandering husband she loved and thought she knew. When a member of the family who gave Ali a generous scholarship decades earlier suddenly asks her for a meeting, Ali wonders what it can mean. Before she can satisfy her curiosity, though, Ali receives another startling call: a friend's teenage daughter has disappeared. Ali offers to help. But in doing so, she unknowingly begins a quest that will reveal a deadly ring of secrets, at the center of which stand two undiscriminating killers. Hand of Evil is Jance at her best, weaving a masterful story of suspense that travels over generations, exposing two very different women with the same horrifying secret. Will Ali become a victim herself, or will she escape from a deadly deceit that no amount of security—financial or emotional—can cover up? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
