Slow Joe is now in prison awaiting trial for being the Christchurch Carver. He has a plan to be found insane so he can leisurely spend a couple of years at the mental institution instead of life in prison. Manipulating his psychiatrist with well thought out scenarios, she sees through the "slow" act & gets him to admit some things from his childhood. Detective Schroeder has lost his job & is now consulting on reality TV series about crime scene cleaners and works with a fake psychic. Trying to alleviate his guilt from not recognizing Joe as the killer has left him yearning to find bodies and solve some loose ends. Digging at the bottom of the barrel he & the psychic have an offer for Joe from the TV studio to find a body. Joe sees his chance to break free, along with his psycho girlfriend plotting her own plan, a murderous father with evil intentions, & a whole city that's debating on death penalty or life. Slow Joe has his work cut out for him and also some startling revelations from his mother. A wild ride ( ) La historia de Joe Middleton es esta: no recuerda haber matado a nadie, por lo que es imposible que un jurado lo condene por asesinatos en serie. Se llama a sí mismo Joe la Víctima y mientras espera ser sometido a juicio, intenta convencer a los psiquiatras de que no era dueño de sus actos, con la esperanza de que en última instancia, el sistema lo salve. Pero otros conocen a Joe como el infame Carnicero de Christchurch y quieren verlo muerto. Está Melissa, cómplice de Joe en uno de los homicidios, que planea dispararle en el camino al edificio de los tribunales antes de que tenga la oportunidad de empezar a hablar. Luego está Rafael, cuya hija fue una de las víctimas de El Carnicero. Aunque ha intentado seguir adelante con su vida como líder de un grupo de ayuda para familiares en duelo, nada le gustaría más que ver a Joe pagar por lo que hizo. Por último, está Carl Schroder, el ex detective que encerró a Joe y que está decidido a remediar los errores del caso más importante de su carrera. Para salirse de este embrollo épico, Joe ha ideado un plan desesperado que involucra a un vidente de televisión que busca hacerse rico haciendo que la gente crea casi cualquier cosa. Es una apuesta arriesgada, pero más vale que funcione antes de que se convierta en el chico del póster de la pena de muerte que puede ser reinstaurada en Nueva Zelanda, lo cual no es exactamente el final dramático que querría This book and series is right up my alley. Yet I struggled with this book. In fact, I don't know how I even got 210 pages into this book. There was nothing intriguing about the story of the characters. For a fleeting moment a few times it did seem like the story was going to go somewhere but for me it did not. This is because there was more talking and not enough action or I hate to say it (killing). I have no issues with the fact that I did not read the first book in this series as I have read many books out of order and been just fine with them. I was left wondering just how Joe got to be so hated as he did not seem smart at all. I could be wrong as again I did not read Cleaner. It just seemed like Joe was a bad actor and not a very good one at trying to be bad. Sadly, I could not read anymore of this book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
