Tru Smith, a quirky fella who reminds me a bit of Columbo, a smidgen of Macgyver and no Indiana Jones, but at least he feeds his cat on time. Since I enjoy reading Mr. C’s weekly gator updates, I was curious about the second book in the series “Gator Hunt”, but wanted to start at the beginning. “Dead on the Island” takes place on Texas’ beloved Galveston Island. The plot is witty with several twists and an ending I didn’t see coming (which always makes me mad-- in a good way). What I enjoy most about Crider’s writing is what I enjoy about Bradbury’s: there is always joy in the story telling, but never any hesitation to go as dark or as deep as the story or character demands.

HTML: Nominated for the Shamus Award for Best First Private Eye Novel PI Truman Smith has become a loner after failing to find his sister Jan during a recent search of Galveston Island. He jogs on the Seawall, plays with his cat, and reads lots of Faulkner books. He is pulled from his self-imposed retirement when his old high school football buddy Dino asks him to find a young girl named Sharon. As Tru begins his investigation, dead bodies begin to appear and Tru himself is attacked. His search for Sharon takes him to all sorts of interesting places on and near the Island. Bill Crider spins a good mystery tale in a wonderful setting with interesting characters and enough plot twists to keep readers guessing until the last few chapters. .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
