This book was a pleasant surprise, a little slow at time hence 4 stars but a very good story. Rollins has an unusual hobby, he likes to pick out a car at random and follow it while speculating about the person and where they are going. One night he follows someone to a house that has a distant tie to him in the form of a missing cousin, but this time the person he was following was aware of it and begins to follow Rollins. This is where the story really gets good, you never know who is hiding what from whom. Overall a really good mystery. ( ) An original plot with original characters. Amazing. In this day and age. Neurotic guy who is so bored with his life that he follows people in his car, just to see where they go and what they do. Neurotic girl who thinks this is totally normal. Missing heiress. Sinister family members. I enjoyed this one. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Meet Edward Rollins, scion of one of Boston's more notable families. A diligent but uninspired employee at one of the city's finest investment houses, he is a man of means -- and of secrets. Each night, armed with a hand-held tape recorder, he randomly picks a car and follows it to a destination, cataloging the habits and peculiarities of its driver. A harmless obsession. But one night changes everything. Trailing a car to a remote suburb, Rollins follows it to a house that, he eerily realizes, was once frequented by his murdered cousin. Drawn into a mystery to which he unwittingly holds the key, he must unlock the secrets of his past to find the truth -- a search that could free him from his own dark house of despair. A harrowing, tension-riddled literary thriller that echoes the storytelling power of Frederick Busch and Ian McEwan, The Dark House heralds the arrival of a major talent.
