( ) A bit more plot and less atmosphere than Hotel Paradise which I rate as an astonishingly good book, but still terrific. Really difficult to put down towards the end - leaving you with the dilemma of wanting to read on, yet not wanting to finish the book too quickly. Really looking forward to Belle Ruin which I have not read yet but and my copy has arrived just in time from America. Martha Grimes Hotel Paradise wurde von Buchliste als "superb... jenseits des Genres... eine der besten des Jahres" gefeiert. Jetzt kehrt Grimes in dieselbe Kleinstadt zurück und verwebt die Fäden des unerklärlichen Todes eines jungen Mädchens mit dem Versuch eines anderen jungen Mädchens, ihrem eigenen Leben einen Sinn zu geben. Mystery? I suppose. I love the ruminations on Time - peeled back, stretched to the breaking - set in lush - or lonely - descriptions. Then there's silence, like this sentence set in the middle of a rich passage on pg. 82, talking of young girl's terror: "If a cone had dropped on velvet needles, if a star had laid a silver track across the sky, if the dead had turned in their graves - I swear, I would have heard it, that's how silent it all was." And it's funny. The perfect book for a rainy day. A bit more plot and less atmosphere than Hotel Paradise which I rate as an astonishingly good book, but still terrific.

A once fashionable, now fading resort hotel. A spinster aunt living in the attic. A house full of secrets and dusty furnishings, uninhabited for almost fifty years. A neglected lake, covered with water lilies. Pettiness and cruelty in small-town America. And Emma Graham, a twelve-year-old girl with a passion for double-chocolate ice-cream sodas and decaying lakefronts, and an obsession with the death of another girl - Mary-Evelyn Devereau - forty years earlier. COLD FLAT JUNCTION is the sequel to Martha Grimes' HOTEL PARADISE and in it Emma Graham continues to look for answers surrounding the fate of Mary-Evelyn, who was also twelve when she drowned in Spirit Lake. And the murder of Fern Queen remains to be solved. COLD FLAT JUNCTION is a delicate yet excruciating view of the decisions a young girl must make on her way to becoming an adult, and a novel with extraordinary range and depth.
