I liked it, while there was one incident which seemed totally out of character for Jenny, over all it is a good follow up and I look forward to the next one in the series. ( ) This is the second volume of the Jenny Cooper series. I was already tied up from the first volume and this book is also exciting from the first to the last page. Jenny Cooper is the Coroner for the Severn Vale District and is fully occupied with finding out what happened to two young Muslim students eight years ago. The events come thick and fast, because recently, people who have been poisoned by radioactivity have died or others because they are involved in both cases. Who can Jenny trust? She gets help from a side that is not quite kosher. It also has a lot to do with private life. She neglects her teenage son and feels strongly attracted to her neighbour. Unfortunately, the content of the story fits the recent events in Manchester, which of course I could not know. It is exciting and solidly built and I will definitely read the continuation of this series. Jenny Cooper is a UK coroner who agrees to open an inquest on two young Muslims who disappeared years previously. Her battle to find the truth is obstructed from all sides - the families who just want the past to remain so; the families who are too caught up in grief to see how they damage their cause; the security services who seem to have a stake in the outcome; the police who perhaps did a less than stellar job in investigating the disappearances at the time. This is a bleak book where every character has flaws and demons that attack their ability to do the right thing, make them lie or push them to the edge of madness with the 'heroine' perhaps the most dysfunctional of them all. The workaday start to the story - well, workaday for someone who deals in dead people - builds slowly to a complex interplay of psychological and actual violence with plenty of twists, although none of these are out of context. As life often is, the ending is satisfying, final and with loose ends that do not all make sense. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Fiction.
Thriller.
HTML: Two young British students, Nazim Jamal and Rafi Hassan, vanish without a trace. The police write them off as runaways, but seven years later, Nazim's grief-stricken mother is still unconvinced. Jenny Cooper is finally settling into her role as Coroner for the Severn Valley; the ghosts of her past banished to the sidelines once more. But as an inquest into Nazim's disappearance gets underway, the stink of corruption and conspiracy becomes clear. As the pressure from above increases, a code of silence is imposed and events begin to spiral out of control, pushing Jenny to the breaking point. For how could she have known that by unravelling the mysteries of the disappeared, she would begin to unearth her own buried secrets? .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
