3.0étoiles sur 5 Locked Room Mystery, Janv. 14 2009
Par Robert Bottos "Rebel Rob aka Avid Fan" (Coquitlam, British Columbia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Crucified (Paperback)
Normally I run right out and buy each Slade novel as it comes off the presses and get it signed by the author. This is the first time I haven't done that. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the novel but I guess I was so looking forward to another Special X story that perhaps I felt a little cheated. Still, Slade has shown that he can write a thrilling mystery chock full of interesting historical tidbits whether Inspector DeClerc or Wyatt Rook is his protagonist. I do agree that in part the book felt like a clone of the Davinci code but it had a definite Slade twist and imagery to it. I suspect this isn't the last we've heard of Wyatt Rook and who knows, maybe his path will cross that of Special X in the near future. I was a bit dissapointed with the books ending but in did make sense. Without giving anything away, if you've seen Ronin or Perhaps Pulp Fiction you'll understand.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Flight of faith, Jui 28 2008
Par Bawlmer Guy (Mount Airy, MD, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Crucified (Paperback)
For many years after my introduction to Michael Slade during the mid-80s, it was tempting to compare successive Special X novels to Slade's first two, Headhunter and Ghoul. This made for a somewhat unsatisfying progression despite some excellent stories. The antidote was to appreciate the merits of each novel on its own. Eventually it became clear that Slade has little interest in being nailed down to any formula, genre, or subject matter, except perhaps for his love of mystery, history, and inventive mayhem. Even so prepared, I was stunned to learn that Slade has offered in his thirteenth novel a thrilling departure from the Special X series.

Crucified is sweet torture for the reader who seeks an answer to the still-hanging "who lives, who dies" question at the end of Kamikaze, the previous Slade novel. It's also a superb example of Slade's ability to link seemingly disparate elements--to reveal what they are would spoil the fun, but they exceed the jaw-dropping connections (among Chinese pharmaceuticals, General Custer, and the legendary Sasquatch) found in Slade's novel Cutthroat. Yet the connections are quite logical; Slade has simply looked deeply enough into history to find them. On top of it all, Crucified entails some interesting twists on the locked-room puzzle found in some Golden Age mysteries.

Wyatt Rook, an author who specializes in Second World War plots, probes the crash site of a British bomber downed over Germany in 1944. As he tries to learn the fates of missing airmen, Rook runs afoul of murderous conspirators who are determined to acquire religious artifacts on behalf of the Vatican.

Crucified includes some fine, realistic exposition of Royal Air Force bomber crews' daily routines. The passages seem to stem from first-hand interviews. If so, it's commendable that Slade has saluted war heroes from another era before they pass on. Tight, smooth, and engrossing throughout, Crucified is the work of a novelist moving onward and upward. Even far from the familiar ground of Special X, Slade flies high, straight, and true. It's a most welcome adventure.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Hmmm lets copy the DaVinci Code since i have no new ideas, Déc 6 2008
This review is from: Crucified (Paperback)
Hmm. I have no new ideas right now and I am getting bored with writing
about the RCMP. But I need to put out another book.
I read DaVinci Code last year and it was pretty good. I think I
will do a clone book. . . Yeah. I like it... where's my laptop.
