I'm listening to this tale on the commute and particularly enjoying the setting, England's Lake District, as well as the references to Wordsworth (the protagonist is a Wordsworth scholar) and Fletcher Christian (Mutiny on the Bounty) who were contemporaries and neighbors. ( ) Cumbrian born, Jane Gresham is a Wordsworth scholar who has long believed in the local story that Fletcher Christian, the man who led the mutiny on the Bounty and school friend of Wordsworth, had returned to his home county of Cumbria. Her research uncovers a letter from Wordsworth's wife Mary that hints at a lost manuscript and lends credence to the story, so when a body emerges from a peat bog in her hometown that has tattoos from the South Seas, she suspects this may be Christian Fletcher. Jane returns to her family home to track down the missing manuscript. However, she is not the only one interested in finding it and she becomes embroiled in a race to find the living ancestor of Wordsworth's maid. I like the way Val McDermid constructs her stories. An initial, slow stage setting, ensuring all characters are introduced and firmly established so the reader feels like they know them and their relationships, before increasing the pace for the final part. This is when it becomes really difficult to leave the book alone, the story quickly unfolds and then the little twist at the end. I always feel a bit frustrated with the slow stage setting, so I become complacent and tend to miss what becomes part of the twist at the end. Als er een meer dan honderd jaar oud lijk wordt gevonden in een veengebied in het Lake district denkt Jane Gresham dat het wel eens het lijk zou kunnen zijn van Fletcher Christian zou kunnen zijn. Fletcher is een van de mannen die aan de muiterij op de Bounty hebben meegedaan. Jane gaat op onderzoek uit maar dat gaat niet zonder moeite. Er vallen in het heden ook doden en die lijken allemaal met haar zoektocht te maken te hebben. Goed geschreven met verhaallijnen die netjes aan het einde bij elkaar komen. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Hæderspriser
Krimi. Et voldsomt regnskyl afdækker et lig med groteske tatoveringer på en skråning i Lake District, og pludselig befinder Jane Gresham, specialist i Wordsworth, sig midt i opklaringen af et mord med rødder i det 18. århundrede og mytteriet på "Bounty". No library descriptions found. |
