Thriller Down a Dark Road 3.5 Stars Joseph King, a childhood friend of Kate's convicted of murdering his wife, escapes from prison, takes his children hostage and demands that Kate re-open his case. The Kate Burkholder series is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, this installment does not live up to expectations as the pacing is slow and the plot drawn out with several unnecessary flashbacks to Kate and Joseph's past. While some of the twists and turns are captivating, Joseph is a very unlikable character and it is difficult to care about his predicament. Thus, when the inevitable happens, it has less of an emotional impact on the reader. The mystery is interesting if predictable, but Kate and John's relationship manages to compensate - that man is a saint! Kathleen McInerney's audiobook narration is superb as always. Un’altra bellissima storia, avvincete ed emozionante che mi ha colpito particolarmente soprattutto per quello che di ingiusto accade. L’evasione di Joseph King, condannato all’ergastolo per l’uccisione della moglie, e il successivo sequestro dei suoi cinque figli, da lui stesso messo in atto, vedrà in prima persona il coinvolgimento di Kate con lo specifico intento di spingerla ad indagare sul quel delitto di cui lui si è sempre professato innocente. L’indagine, peraltro, ha anche un risvolto molto personale in quanto Kate e Joseph erano cresciuti insieme e lui era stato il suo primo amore fino a quanto, a seguito della tragica morte del padre di Joseph, questi non si trasferì in un altro luogo con la famiglia. Una tragica vicenda che porterà Kate a scoprire qualcosa di impensabile ed estremamente pericoloso e che la condurrà anche a un passo dalla morte. Imperdibile anche questo libro. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Eight years ago Joseph King was convicted of murdering his wife and sentenced to life in prison. He was a "fallen" Amish man and, according to local law enforcement, a known drug user with a violent temper. Now King has escaped, and he's headed for Painters Mill. News of a murderer on the loose travels like wildfire and putting Chief of Police Kate Burkholder and her team of officers on edge. A nightmare scenario becomes reality when King shows up with a gun and kidnaps his five children from their Amish uncle's house. He's armed and desperate with nothing left to lose. Fearing for the safety of the children, Kate leaps into action, but her frantic search for a killer leads her into an ambush. When King releases her unharmed, asking her to prove his innocence, she begins to wonder whether the police are hiding something, and she embarks on her own investigation to discover the truth"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
