I've had this book sitting on the TBR pile for awhile and have constantly been bypassing because I knew that once I picked it up, I wouldn't be able to stop. And that's exactly what happened. The one frustration I had was that there was a lot of telling rather than showing in some parts as it was necessary to show a time lapse of several months. It was done well, but it was something that I definitely noticed and found a bit frustrating. When the action did happen, however, it was so compelling that I could feel my heart racing. Not so good for the blood pressure! Jan Burke is an excellent writer and if you're in the mood for something that's going to get under your skin, this is it. This was my first time reading one of Jan Burke's Irene Kelly novels. Disturbance opens with Irene Kelly recovering from her traumatic capture and attack by serial killer Nick Parish. Clearly, the convicted killer is still obsessed with Irene - after all, he was nearly paralyzed when she was rescued. The book doesn't focus on the killer's twisted thoughts or plans, which makes Disturbance a much more satisfying sort of thriller. Instead of the killer's thoughts, the book is told from the point of view of Irene and this stranger Donovan. Donovan has a link to Parish but he holds himself apart. While Donovan seems to assist Parish in his attacks on innocents, he views Irene and her companions with respect and sympathy. I don't want to reveal much of the plot. It's an unusual thriller with a serial killer that doesn't focus on the violence but instead on the impact of the attacks on likable characters. Highly recommended! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Pertence à sérieIrene Kelly (11)
Irene Kelly fights for her life in this blood-chilling sequel to Bones. Despite her reporter's nose for trouble, her life has almost returned to normal, the Las Piernas News Express wobbles along in defiance of its financial woes, and with the help of her husband, Frank, and a good therapist, she has recovered from the debilitating post traumatic stress disorder that haunted her after her near fatal encounter with notorious serial killer Nick Parrish. Then she receives some unwelcome news: Parrish, once thought permanently paralyzed by the injuries he sustained fleeing recapture, is walking again. And the rumor among the Moths, Parrish's online fan club, is that he is coming after Irene. Suddenly Irene is on the other end of the microphone, being hounded by the media for interviews and plied with questions she had hoped never to have to answer again. She tries to believe that she is safe from Parrish, who is imprisoned in a maximum security facility, and that the growing stream of threats from the Moths is all just talk. But an unnerving prank soon lets her know that someone, at least, wants her to be afraid. And when a young woman's body turns up in the trunk of a car near her home, naked, frozen solid, and decorated from head to toe in elaborately painted moths, it becomes clear that Irene will once again find herself pitted against a brutal murderer. She knows the twisted hunter who is stalking her all too well, or does she? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Irene doesn't believe he can hurt her from the confines of prison until a seemingly random prank is connected to the discovery of a woman's murdered body that has been painted with elaborate pictures of moths. When two more similar bodies turn up, it becomes clear that irene has reason to worry.
The characters introduced in this plot provided a twist that I would have not guessed in a surprising connection to Parrish. I look forward to the next in the series. ( )
