But don't compare him to Jack Reacher. Reacher doesn't lose fights. ( ) Dual review with Swedish first and then English! SWEDISH REVIEW Jag var överlycklig över att få chansen att läsa den här boken. Jag älskar att läsa böcker med huvudpersoner som har ett hemligt förflutet, FBI agenter och jakter på galna mördare och den här boken lyckas få med allt det. Carter Blake är en man som kan spåra upp människor som inte vill bli hittade och han kontaktas av FBI för att hitta Caleb Wardell, "Krypskytten från Chicago", som har rymt två veckor före sin avrättning. Blake tillsammans med agent Elaine Banner jagar Wardell över landet med Wardell skjuter folk slumpmässigt, eller är det verkligen slumpmässigt? Kan Wardell ha en dödsplan? Berättelsen i den här boken är intensivt spännande och jag fann Carter Blake fascinerande och jag vill verkligen veta mer om honom, hans förflutna och vad som gjorde honom till mannen han är idag. Jag gillade även Elaine Banner, hon är en tuff kvinna som jonglerar sitt liv som ensamstående mamma med en karriär som FBI agent. Tillsammans är de ett bra team i denna bok. Jag gillade vändningarna i boken att allting inte är som det verkar. Det verkar som om Wardell har hjälp från någon, men vem skulle hjälpa en man som Wardell? Slutet är verkligen spännande, med en konfrontation mellan huvudpersonerna och sanningar som avslöjas. Jag rekommenderar varmt denna bok och ser fram emot att läsa nästa bok i serien! Tack till Modernista för recensionsexemplaret! ENGLISH REVIEW I was thrilled to get the chance to read this book. I love main characters with a secret past, FBI agents and a hunt for some crazy killers and this book manage to have it all. Carter Blake is a man that can find anyone and he is contacted by FBI to find Caleb Wardell, the 'Chicago Sniper', who has escaped two weeks before his execution. Blake together with agent Elaine Banner is hunting Wardell over the country as the killer is shooting people at random, or is it really random? Could the man have a killing plan? I found the story in this book to be intense and thrilling and I found Carter Blake intriguing and I really want to know more about him, his past and what made him into the man he is today. I liked Blake and I also like Elaine Banner, she is a tough woman who is juggling her life as a single mother with a career as an FBI agent. Together are they a good team in this book. I liked the twists and turns the story took. It seems that Wardell could have help from someone, but who would help a man like Wardell? The ending is really thrilling, with a confrontation between the main characters and truths being revealed. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next book in the series! Thanks to Modernista for the review copy! The Killing Season was high on a newspaper list of the best thrillers and detective novels of the year. It also has pretty good reviews on Amazon. So I thought it would be a good read. However, I was disappointed. It has all the right ingredients for a good thriller – a crazy killer, a mysterious lone wolf hero, a nationwide manhunt etc. But I never got that feeling of “I can’t put this down, I have to keep reading” that I get with some thrillers. To be fair, I thought that the action scenes were well done and exciting. But I didn’t care much for the protagonists, and overall I never got hooked on the story. This book reminded me a lot of the Jack Reacher books by Lee Child, which I think are much better than this one. In particular it has many of the same elements as Without Fail, which I would recommend instead of The Killing Season. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: The first thing you should know about me is that my name is not Carter Blake. That name no more belongs to me than the hotel room I was occupying when the call came in. When Caleb Wardell, the infamous "Chicago Sniper," escapes from death row two weeks before his execution, the FBI calls on the services of Carter Blake, a man with certain specialized talents whose skills lie in finding those who don't want to be found??a man to whom Wardell is no stranger. Along with Elaine Banner, an ambitious special agent juggling life as a single mother with her increasingly high-flying career, Blake must track Wardell down as he cuts a swathe across America, apparently killing at random. But Blake and Banner soon find themselves sidelined from the case. And as they try desperately to second-guess a man who kills purely for the thrill of it, they uncover a hornet's nest of lies and corruption. Now Blake must break the rules and go head-to-head with the FBI if he is to stop Wardell and expose a deadly conspiracy that will rock the country. Slick, fast-paced, and assured, The Killing Season is the first novel in the gripping new Carter Blake series. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
