My review
of this novel is perfectly interchangeable with the previous one of this
series, “At risk.”
The pattern is exactly the same: an unsolved
murder case from the past and a case that involves somehow, unexpectedly, the
prosecuting attorney Monique Lamont. The main protagonists are always the same.
The times in which the story unfolds match. There is again a female secondary
character, who somehow assists Garano although she should not or would not do
it.
In both cases, the story is told in a concise
and fast-paced way, in order to constantly stimulate the reader’s interest.
The best way to enjoy the novel is to read it
in a short period of time, also to avoid the risk of forgetting the important
details scattered throughout the pages.
In any case it is a great detective story,
which deviates from the macabre (morbid) style of Scarpetta’s novels and opens
to a public loving classic crime stories, in which you put the clues together,
you make assumptions and get to a solution.
