Natt90 | Feb 28, 2023 |   Another part of the pattern is that the evidence seems to present an impossible conclusion, and everybody is either totally confused, or convinced of conflicting conclusions, all wrong. Next part of the pattern is he stumbles around, figures things out, and then gets himself in trouble with the bad guys. In this one, he almost dies. I don't know how he'll come out of the next book - perhaps he'll die and come back to life. But I think I'll wait a while before reading it. They're pretty good, but not something that draws me in like some other books I've read. Maybe they'll get better, I hope. (  ) MartyFried | Oct 9, 2022 | It's structurally identical and the plot is so similar as to make the identity of the murderer obvious from very early on, assuming you have already read Verdon's first novel, which I have. So that's a bit disappointing but it's a gripping read anyway - because it becomes a "howdunnit?" not a "whodunnit?" Yes, the way the crime was committed becomes the central mystery and it's compelling enough to make me forgive the otherwise repetitious nature of this sequel - but Verdon should look to shake things up for the future. Going by the blurb on the back of his third novel, he hasn't, though. (  ) Arbieroo | Jul 17, 2020 | In addition to the unpleasant murder(s), the story explores Gurney's marriage and his inability to settle into retirement in a realistic way. I enjoyed the book very much. ( ) Terrie2018 | Feb 21, 2020 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:Dave Gurney, retired NYPD homicide investigator, is back in Shut Your Eyes Tight, the sequel to the international bestseller Think of a Number Dave Gurney, a few months past the Mellery case that pulled him out of retirement and then nearly killed him, is trying once again to adjust to his country houseâ??s bucolic rhythms when he receives a call about a case so seductively bewildering that the thought of not looking into it seems unimaginableâ??even if his beloved wife, Madeleine, would rather he do anything but. The facts of what has occurred are horrible: a blushing bride, newly wed to an eminent psychiatrist and just minutes from hearing her congratulatory toast, is found decapitated, her head apparently severed by a machete. Though police investigators believe that a Mexican gardener killed the young woman in a fit of jealous fury, the victimâ??s motherâ??a chilly high-society beautyâ??is having none of it. Reluctantly drawn in, Dave is quickly buffeted by a series of revelations that transform the bizarrely monstrous into the monstrously bizarre. Underneath it all may exist one of the darkest criminal schemes imaginable. And as Gurney begins deciphering its grotesque outlines, some of his most cherished assumptions about himself are challenged, causing him to stare into an abyss so deep that it threatens to swallow not just him, but Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Todas las pistas apuntan a un misterioso y perturbado jardinero pero nada encaja: ni el móvil, ni la situación del arma homicida y sobre todo, el cruel modus operandi. Dejando de lado lo obvio, Gurney empieza a unir los puntos que le descubrirán una compleja red de negocios siniestros y tramas ocultas.
