Ingram

Plans for a new highway that would cut through the lovely woods outside of Kingsmarkham have raised a massive local protest. The outburst turns deadly serious when a desperate group takes five hostages--including Chief Inspector Wexford's wife, Dora--and threatens to kill them. Combining high technology with his extraordinary detecting skills, Wexford and his team race to find the fanatics and their hostages. When the first body is found, Wexford's search gains a fanatical dimension itself.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Rendell Fan, Juil 1 2001
Par M. Glanzer "nuts about books" (Midwest) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book (or rather listened to it on audiobook) just because it was written by my newest favorite author. It wasn't exactly exciting, though. Inspector Wexford is caught in the middle of a kidnapping when his wife is one of the hostages. I was looking forward to an exciting search but was surprised when shortly into the book, his wife was released by her captors. This group was supposedly against the new bypass being built through the town, objecting to destroying trees and killing wildlife, so that's the direction Inspector Wexford takes as he tries to find the remaining 4 hostages. I'm not great at solving mysteries but even I had figured out part of the plot before the end. Rendell does tend to drag things out, making the story longer than she has to, but I can't help but like her style of writing so much that it doesn't bother me. I have read one other Inspector Wexford novel and liked it too, but have to say her suspense type novels grab my attention better. By the way, if you have a chance to listen to any of her books on Recorded Books audio, the narrator, Divina Porter, is great. She has that cool English accent and I could listen to her all day.

4.0étoiles sur 5 My First Chief Inspector Wexford Book, Mai 22 2001
Par A reader (Litchfield Co., CT) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I found this an engaging book. It was interesting in that the Inspector's wife was kidnapped with several others and kidnappers threatened to kill them off one by one if their demands weren't met. I didn't look for clues, but just read for enjoyment.

I was surprised and pleased at ending. Will be reading the earlier Wexford books. Would like to see how his character has developed over the years.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not the best, Déc 30 1999
Par Un client
When selecting a book I look for author first and then read the opening section of the first chapter. I have always found that Ruth Rendell's opening lines make me want to read more. Her characters are well crafted and you can get a sense of realism that many authors fail to achieve. This time though the book concentrates more on the feelings of Inspector Wexford and less on character & plot development. The side plots did not blend together into a seamless whole and it was hard to link the different plots together. There are times when the book is very tense but mostly it lacked the energy to keep you enthralled. I felt I wanted to get to the end of the book to see how it all fitted together but was left with a disappointing "Oh is that it?"

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not a great introdution to her work
A very novel idea for a kidnap plot, surrounded by a mish-mash of side plots which detract from the work. Read more
