I have read almost all of Michael Koyrta's books but I understand that this was his first standalone. One thing that I really like about this author is that he keeps the descriptions short but understandable. I hate reading about the color of the drapes, the rugs, and the walls in every room of the house that some writers seem to think is essential to the story. I really liked the main character and how he handled having to come to grips with the realization that what he had always thought about his father was far from the truth. As The story unfolds with this situation and comes to a suspenseful conclusion about Frank, his family, and his father's legacy of death. A really good story by a really excellent author. This is a nearly perfect mystery novel. Well developed, sympathetic and interesting characters, a fascinating backstory, a budding romance, a thrilling plot. It doesn't get much better than this. Some parts dragged just a bit for me, so if I could I'd give it 4.5 stars, but I thought I'd be generous. All Koryta's books have been really good, but I think this may be his best. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: In the seven years since he learned that his US marshal father lead a double life as a contract killer-and committed suicide to avoid prosecution-Frank Temple III has mostly drifted through life. But when he learns that Devin Matteson, the man who lured his father into the killing game only to later give him up to the FBI, is returning to the isolated Wisconsin lake that was once sacred ground for their families, it's a homecoming Frank can't allow. Frank finds Matteson's old cabin occupied by a strange, beautiful woman and a nervous man with a gun. But when a pair of assassins arrives on their heels, he knows Matteson can't be far behind. The wise move would be to get out of town-but that doesn't feel right. After all, contract killer or not, Frank's father was at heart a teacher. And his son was an excellent student. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
