Boeiend ( ) Supposedly a taught psychological/erotic thriller, this book doesn't really have all that much to offer. A DA is trying to gather evidence to convict a vicious, but young and handsome, mob leader. In the meantime, the DAs wife begins an affair with the mob guy but, and here's the silly part, the mob guy doesn't realize this is a DA's wife and the wife doesn't realize this is a mob guy. Evan Hunter is better known as an author by his pseudonym, Ed McBain, creator of the 87th Precinct series, so it's no surprise that the most enjoyable parts of this book are the police procedural sections. In general, I felt that the first third of the book was obvious and cliche-ridden, the second third became tolerable, and the final third was more or less enjoyable, although still marbled with cliched side plots that go nowhere and seem to mostly be there to show how sensitive the author is. I don't mind having read this, but I don't recommend anyone else spending the time. Sarah Welles loves her husband Michael but his job as district attorney keeps him away, and one Christmas/New Year when he's investigating a mafia family she's away on a tropical island and meets someone. Andrew Farrell is a playboy, and has a lot of girlfriends but he's attracted to Sarah. After the attraction he hunts Sarah up again in New York and wants to take it on further. Meanwhile Michael doesn't notice, is too caught up with trying to catch this mafia family, co-oncidentally a mafia family that Anthony is major player. Gripping, interesting and you can see how much of this would happen. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
An assistant district attorney launches a one-man crusade against the Mafia in this legal thriller from the bestselling author of the 87th Precinct series. The call comes from Narcotics, Manhattan South. A low-level drug dealer just got caught in a buy-bust, and he's ready to spill his guts. It wouldn't be a priority--especially not four days before Christmas--but the thug just mentioned the Mafia, and that means all hands on deck. It's just what Michael Welles has been waiting for. An assistant district attorney with a burning hatred of organized crime, he'll do anything for a crack at the mob. He's about to get a chance to bring down the whole clan--but his loved ones' lives are at stake. The dealer they arrested is an unlucky gambler whose debts put him smack in the middle of two of New York's most powerful crime families. Following the man's lead, Michael sets up a massive eavesdropping operation intended to trap the ruthless new leader of the local mob--but what he hears on the other end of the wiretap will make him doubt everything he knows about his family, his wife, and himself. From the legendary Ed McBain, who "virtually invented the American police procedural with his gritty 87th Precinct series," Criminal Conversation is as realistic as it gets (The New York Times).
