Lädt ... Inheritancevon Joe McKinney
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Charrlygirl | Mar 22, 2020 |   What I felt as I was reading this novel was a real feel of authenticity whenever there were police elements in the story, which was frequent. I don’t get this in many other novels that involve police officers. Clearly, Joe McKinney knows his stuff. He also does two other things very well—build tension in this novel and create a growing sense of dread. He hooked me in as a reader very early on, although I did experience bits of frustration for parts of the novel, when I didn’t feel as if I really knew what was going on. The other trouble spots I found was in Paul’s character, which was generally well done, but he experienced some abrupt shifts in attitude in behavior which I found problematic. For the most part, McKinney pressed the right buttons and put together a horror novel that I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the genre. Carl Alves - author of Battle of the Soul (  ) Carl_Alves | Apr 9, 2018 | Joe McKinney spins a horrifying tale and Inheritance is relentless. Much of the tension comes from the ability of the characters to enter to ghostly world of the past. This phantom world contrasted with the realistic and well-drawn horrors Paul sees on the job ratchet up the scares. Fans of horror shouldn't miss this one.

**Nominated for the Bram Stoker Award(r) - Superior Achievement in Novel - 2012**Paul Henninger is a rookie cop on San Antonio's troubled East Side, where every night is a war against the gangs and the drug dealers. But Paul has a dark past, and a dark inheritance.The ghost of Martin Henninger has returned to make sure his son, Paul, delivers on his apocalyptic charge, the result of Martin's black magic, and he's killing everyone in his path. With his two worlds colliding, and the body count stacking up, Paul soon finds himself the lead suspect in a series of grisly cult-style killings, and in an emotional standoff between duty, the truth, his wife, and his dead family. Meanwhile, Keith Anderson, San Antonio's best homicide detective, is hot on Paul's heels. His investigation takes him deep into the secrets of Paul's family. But what he finds there just might kill them both."When I started reading Inheritance, my first reaction was one word-WOW! I kept reading, and I was blown away. Police procedural? Yeah. Horror novel? That, too. But most importantly-one helluva novel.

Add to this mix strong characterization and an insider's knowledge of law enforcement, and you have one of the best novels I've read in ages. I loved it!"-Tim Waggoner, author of The Harmony Society and Like Death"Joe McKinney has proven, yet again, that he is a true literary genius.

This novel was extremely well written, so much so that it was very easy to picture all the characters and things going on. Mr. McKinney has a way with words-he paints detailed pictures with only a few of them.
It was a unique story, featuring a lot of police procedural stuff as well as some crazy goings on. I don't want to say much more than that, for fear of ruining someone's read. Suffice it to say that I loved it!
Highly Recommended! (
