It is quite some time since I last read one of Barry Maitland's 'Brock and Kolla' novels, and I am now wishing that I had left it even longer. At their best, such as 'Silvermeadow' they demonstrated watertight plotting, finely-crafted characters and a magnetic storyline. This volume, published some ten years ago, had all those traits … except the plotting characters storyline. What a falling off was there! His widow, Gertrude, copping off with his brother, Claudius, could not have come as a greater disappointment to the ghost of Hamlet's father than this weak melange of mindless blether came to me. That's three quid I'll never get back! Well! Someone sold me the dummy there!

That's three quid I'll never get back! an interesting book that is easy to read and gets you involved in the story. The story is told from the point of view of a detective involved in the case of a mising little girl - this is not the main detective although in the end she does have a key role in solving the mystery. It was quite nice to have things happening that she was unaware of and was simply being updated on at meetings (things she did not need to know as she was not the lead detective). The story was well plotted and I did get involved with the character. It was also interesting that when I thought the story was revolving arround modern art the main character also complained of this feeling of being sucked into that world.# would reccomend this to suspence and litery novel readers. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Cited as one of the top ten crime novels of 2006 (Kirkus Reviews),No Trace is the finest novel yet by one of best crime novelists of our time. In a London neighborhood known for its artists and bohemian style, six year old Tracey Rudd is abducted from her home without any warning, or sign of violence. She is the third child abucted under similar circumstances in recent weeks. But this case is different. She is the daughter of notorious contemporary artist Gabriel Rudd, best known for the grotesque "Dead Puppies," a work centered around his wife's suicide five years earlier. While Rudd exploits Tracey's abduction as an inspiration for a major new work in his upcoming exhibit, D.C.I. David Brock and Detective Sergeant Kathy Kolla hunt for the missing girls' kidnapper, who is suspiciously connected to the eccentric community of artists, dealers, and collectors in the neighborhood.

My ebook includes a map of Northcote Square, which would have been extremely helpful if it had been inserted at the beginning, rather than as the penultimate page... ( )
