"The NEW Year of Mystery" continues!... I enjoyed Simon Beckett's debut novel "Chemistry of Death", so I had high hopes for this sequel. I'm glad to say that it did more than lived up to expectations - forensic anthropologist Dr. David Hunter is an interesting and engaging central character, the plot/mystery is strong and unpredictable, the supporting characters are more original and developed, and the pace is great. Simon Beckett is quickly finding his way onto my "favorite authors" list, and I can't wait to see what comes next for Dr. David Hunter!
Could not put it down. Even though I grew up a girl in love with horses, this is a book for anyone who loves a story of destitute, courage, and dreams.
This was a thrill ride from the beginning to the very end. There were a lot of twists and turns throughout the book. Actually, when I read the Prologue I thought that the book was going to be made up of short stories. The Accident is the story of a small business owner, Glen Garber and his daughter, Kelly trying to come to terms with the death of his wife and her mother. Sheila appeared to have caused an accident while driving drunk. Glen knew that this was not who his wife was and is intent on getting to the bottom of what happened. What happens next is...lots of twists, turns and you think that you are going to be able to figure it all out. Thanks to Net Galley and Bantam Books for the ARC.
I love Wade Rouse - I'm glad I read this before his earlier book, America's Boy, because I had no expectations going in. This book was so hilarious; it was a perfect depiction of how snooty the uber-rich can be. If you like Sedaris or Savage or Burroughs, you'll like Wade's stuff - but read America's Boy after this; it is one of the best memoirs I've ever read.
