Rezensionen
You Belong to Me: A Novel von Colin Harrison
Nicely written dark NYC suspense thriller - perhaps not his best, but sharply astute about human nature and the dynamics of NYC society life, well-plotted, and fun.
Outstanding NY noir - a cut above most mysteries - gorgeous writing, deep human insights, intricate, flawless plotting - really outstanding.
A lot of different GR views about this new book by Colin Harrison. I really like the depth of his characters and his descriptive writing, most especially his feel for New York and its diverse residents. There is a lot of obsession for both the protagonist (an immigration lawyer, from a modest family) and the antagonist (a very successful international banker, with great wealth) and some brutal crimes surrounding the beautiful blonde wife of the Iranian antagonist and a decorated war hero. Some of the tangents that Harrison chooses are a bit much though. I sure hope we don't have to wait another eight years for his next book.… (mehr)
I truly enjoy Harrison's gritty writing and his characters: Christina Welles (a released convicted felon, trying to get her life back together), Rick Bocca (her ex-lover, crook, who has become a recluse fisherman), and to a lesser extent, Charlie Ravitch (a fighter pilot, POW, turned technology businessman.) Welles and Bocca's former mob boss is looking for revenge and willing to do anything to get it. Too much slaughter and sex in this novel.
