Helpful Score: 1
Book is about a woman named Maud who has a vivid imagination about what goes on across the lake. A little too depressing for me so didn't finish it. Normally I like this author.
Helpful Score: 1
In a sleepy resort town, Maud Chadwick waits tables at the Rainbow Cafe. Her confidant is Sheriff Sam DeGheyn and what they have in common is obsession. Maude doesn't want her son to leave home, and Sam cannot let go of the unsolved murders of three local women -- or his intuition that the killer is still out there. How these lives intertwine reveals a rich and startling story of parents and children and the pain they cause one another.
Slow to warm up, in my own opinion. But really good.
A mystery and an exploration of human behavior at the same time, done by the master of mysteries.
nimbly orchestrates the suspense giving the reader a sense of impending disaster
Brilliantly delineating the inner lives of her characters, Martha Grimes tells a rich, startling story about parents and children - and what can happen when the balance of pleasure and pain is irrevocably tipped.
Good condition. I haven't read the book, yet. That is why I am putting it up for adoption.
Overall, good book; start off a bit slow!
