Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. 3.5 Still enjoying this series, will continue ( ) The story alone was worthy of at least another half star, if not for that the author kept adding something entirely improbable and unbelievable. . I just couldn’t quiet grasp why a woman as smart and savvy as Harper keep meeting people…some she suspected could be the killer…in dark out of the way places. There were several likely suspects...three men that claimed to have loved the 24 year old law student...could one of them have been her killer? I know this generates suspense...that’s why we read these books…but I hate it when smart people do dumb things. In all fairness, I will say once I got past some of Harper’s silly antics and the cops that labeled her a traitor …not because she was a reporter but because she revealed one of their own as a killer. I believe the author made this story very suspenseful, not with the murder itself, but with the challenges that Harper faced while trying to prove her theory about who the killer was. I enjoyed this well written story enough to pick up book #1 in the series. With A Beautiful Corpse, Christi Daugherty does an excellent job of showing us what it's like to be in a stalker's cross-hairs, and what happens when a woman is forced to rely on a flawed system for protection. The writing is crisp, with no lags in the story or unnecessary drama. The realism makes it feel like this exact scenario could be playing out somewhere right now. I love Harper. She has her demons, but she remains strong and independent in both her personal and professional life. The complexities of her personality feel honest and real. This is the second book in the series and reads fine as a stand-alone, though I recommend reading Echo Killing first in order to understand all the nuances of Harper's backstory. (And because it's a really good book!) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheHarper McClain (2)
From Christi Daugherty, author of The Echo Killing, comes another pulse-pounding suspenseful thriller featuring crime reporter Harper McClain. For a woman, being killed by someone who claims to love her is the most ordinary murder of all. With its antebellum houses and ancient oak trees draped in a veil of Spanish moss, Savannah's graceful downtown is famous around the world. When a woman is killed in the heart of that affluent district, the shock is felt throughout the city. But for crime reporter Harper McClain, this story is personal. The corpse has a familiar face. Only twenty-four years old, Naomi Scott was just getting started. A law student, tending bar to make ends meet, she wanted to change the world. Instead, her life ended in the dead of night at the hands of an unseen gunman. There are no witnesses to the crime. The police have three suspects: Scott's boyfriend, who has a criminal past he claims he's put behind him, her boss, who stalked another young bartender two years ago, and the district attorney's son, who Naomi dated until their relationship ended in acrimony. All three men claim to love her. Could one of them be her killer? With the whole city demanding answers, Harper unravels a tangled story of obsession and jealousy. But the pressures on her go beyond the murder. The newspaper is facing more layoffs. Her boss fears both their jobs are on the line. And Harper begins to realize that someone is watching her every move. Someone familiar and very dangerous. Someone who told her to run before it's too late...
