Bir erkeğin ciddi bir tırmanma kazasından sonra her şeye rağmen hayatta kalma mücadelesinin hikayesi, okumak için bir mücadeleydi ve nihayetinde başkalarının geçmesini istediğim bir şey değildi. Bu kitabı tavsiye etmiyorum.
MIDNIGHT IN DEATH is the first of two ‘In Death’ series novelettes that I read over the weekend, both were quick and easy reading, and both were very good. The story jumps right into the action as Eve Dallas is called to investigate a body that has been dumped in Times Square just after Christmas. The victim is Judge Wainger and he had been brutally tortured before being killed. Attached to the body is a note with a list of who the murderer is going to kill. Eve’s name is last on the list. All the names on the list were involved in sending psychopath killer, Dave Palmer, to prison three years earlier. He liked to capture people then slowly torture them to death in order to find out just how much the human mind could endure. A quick check confirms that Palmer has indeed escaped and the intended victims warned; but the race to find him has begun. Palmer is already going methodically through his list and the body count starts to mount. Just because Eve knows who she is looking for doesn’t make the hunt any easier, and the action lasts right up to the last page. MIDNIGHT IN DEATH first appeared as a short story in an anthology titled "Silent Night," but has now been reprinted in its own right. Despite the short length I found it to be a well written and pacey story.
