From Publishers Weekly

Cook's splendid novel finds a true-crime writer back in his rural Georgia hometown to attend the funeral of its sheriff, whose last investigation he seeks to complete.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From AudioFile

Evidence of Blood quickly becomes a riveting search for the truth about a forty-year-old mystery. This moody, first-person account by a writer returning to his childhood home is read flawlessly by Peter Whitman. He presents a variety of Southern voices, all slightly different, for the residents of the small Georgia town. This audiobook is more captivating than the written oneÐa hearty endorsement for this excellent production. S.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --Ce texte provient de la Audio Cassette �dition.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Slow, plodding tale with uninteresting main character, F�v 24 2003

Par	john c. (San Diego) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Evidence of Blood (Mass Market Paperback)

I was very disappointed with this book. It started off nicely with spooky atmospherics and some gruesome details. But once the plot actually got moving, it became bland and also disjointed. The prose obstructed the telling of the story. It was like molasses. Also, the story meandered, with little suspense. Finally, while it's not indispensable in a mystery, it would be nice to have a few clues, however abstruse, tossed into the plot as it moves along (sarcasm!). And now for a positive: if you want to read a good book, read one of Michael Connely''s, especially Void Moon, The Poet, Trunk Music, The Black Echo and The Wild Coyote.

This review is from: Evidence of Blood (Mass Market Paperback)

Awesome. Cook breaks the rules with his dynamite flashbacks showing the relationship of childhood friends, Ray and Jackson. I haven't seen this done with such skill in a long time, and the ending was truly a surprise. As Jackson reconstructs the circumstances surrounding his friend's death, Cook draws in the reader effortlessly. If you like Thomas Cook's style and treatment of flashbacks, you will love Laurie Moore's new novel, THE LADY GODIVA MURDER. Mariel Watson

This review is from: Evidence of Blood (Mass Market Paperback)

Unfortunately I read this book after INSTRUMENTS OF NIGHT (which was published later). The two books are similar in plot and tone, but I liked INSTRUMENTS much better. Thomas Cook is always an interesting read, but this one didn't quite measure up. It was strung out a little more, more pointless details, slower moving and the mystery was not as riveting. It was still better than most books though, and I plan on reading all of this books.

Cooke is in fine form in first-person narrated "Evidence of Blood." The writing is leaner, and anti-hero Jackson Kinley is more likable than the usual Cooke protagonist. Read more
