Is there ever a thing as a good suicide? And if there is,
who determines that?
This is a fiction thriller written by a
Spanish author. That means the pace is not as fast as an American novel. There
are no bodies showing up every other chapter. More time is spent on the
development of characters and atmosphere. Still this is a plot driven novel.
Sometimes a
story is just a good story. Since characters and plot are so tightly linked
together in this case we have a thriller that moves by characters interacting
with layers of memories.
There are three
deaths that look like suicides, but there are no notes left behind. Only a
photo of three dogs hung from a tree is found near the bodies.
This is the
second in what may be a series concerning inspector Hector Salgado. He is
presented as a person working through some problems of his own.
The style of thriller reminds me of books
by Deborah Crombie is that it is told in second person and multiple viewpoint.
The interests of the characters play a part in the development of the plot as
linked with the characters.
This book is
written well and sustains tension. Hill keeps your interest in the story.
It is a book for escapists. One of the reasons
we read is for pleasure and I am sure you will get pleasure out of this book.
This
book was given to me free for reviewing on my blog by blogging for books and
there was no requirement I give a positive review. All viewpoints expressed are those of the
reviewer and do not reflect those of the publisher.
