I thought the beginning was good but I was disappointed at the end. as it became predictable and overloaded with lawyerly jargon. ( ) This is a well crafted legal thriller. When Shay Lambert and Lucy Carter-Jones both get on an elevator at their firm, CDMI (fashion conglomerate Claudine de Martineau International), only one gets off alive. Was it suicide or murder? Why would Lucy, HR Mgr kill herself? What is happening at CDMI? Shay Lambert is accused of murdering Lucy, but she swears she is innocent. When Shay goes to work for an adversary of Barrett, CDMI lead counsel, she is hired because she knows something. But Shay refuses to tell, due to the NDA she signed. Will she hold to this, or will she cave? I felt the tension of this novel the whole time I was reading it, never knowing who was the cat or the mouse in this game of manipulation. The premise of Bonnie Kistler's new novel, The Cage, really grabbed my attention. And held it through all 352 pages - I honestly couldn't put it down! What's the premise? "Leaving at the same time, the two women, each preoccupied by her own thoughts, enter the elevator that will take them down from the 30th floor. When they arrive at the lobby, one of the women is dead. Was it murder or suicide?" Now, you would think that the answer to that question would be quite easy, don't you? It's anything but. The lead character is Shay, a lawyer - and the survivor. The story unfolds through her eyes, but can we trust her? Her story changes a number of time as the tale progresses. We're also aware of other narratives and these factions have their own agenda as well. The Cage is a legal thriller that benefits so much from Kistler's own legal expertise. The machinations of all the characters is more than a little frightening. (And I'm sure there is lots of truth there as well.) The plotting is detailed and devious, going in a direction I hadn't foreseen. And I loved how the burning question of innocence or guilt is flipped back and forth, keeping me guessing. Kistler's writing makes for addictive reading. I look forward to her next novel. I can absolutely see this one as a movie. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Only One of Them Gets Out Alive "A delicious thrill-ride of breakneck twists and turns, underpinned by complex characters ensnared in risky relationships. Evoking Grisham and Highsmith, Bonnie Kistler is a masterful plate-spinner of plot, deftly weaving together the worlds of fashion, high finance and white-shoe law to reveal their seamiest secrets and shared underbellies, all via characters who live, breathe, and scare the hell out of us on every page."â??Cassidy Lucas, author of Santa Monica "An absolutely spellbinding thriller. . . . An utterly engrossing and thoroughly entertaining story."â??Booklist (starred review) Combining the propulsive narrative drive of The Firm with the psychological complexity of The Silent Patient, a gripping and original thriller about two professional womenâ??colleagues at an international fashion conglomerateâ??who enter an elevator together . . . but only one is alive when they reach the ground floor. On a cold, misty Sunday night, two women are alone in the offices of fashion conglomerate Claudine de Martineau International. One is the company's human resources director. Impeccably dressed and perfectly coiffed, she sits at her desk and stares somberly out the window. Down the hall, her colleague, one of the company's lawyers, is buried under a pile of paperwork, frantically rushing to finish. Leaving at the same time, the two women, each preoccupied by her own thoughts, enter the elevator that will take them down from the 30th floor. When they arrive at the lobby, one of the women is dead. Was it murder or suicide? An incredibly original novel that turns the office thriller on its head, The Cage is a wild ride that begins with a bang and picks up speed as it races to its dramat No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
