I look forward to reading more from Mr. Freed! ( ) I was excited to find a new (to me) author with a new (to me) series that was already 4 books in ! Sadly, however, I think I'm done at book 1. It was OK but no better than that. The writing voice is just one trope after another which actually got a little more tolerable as I got into the book but that's when I realized that the plot was just not at all interesting. I love cats but when the minor character of a cat is one of the most interesting characters in the book, you know you are done with this... 4.5 stars. David Freed’s debut novel Flat Spin is an intriguing and enthralling mystery that is rife with humor, remarkable characters and a plot that is full of twists and turns. To read my review in its entirety, please visit http://www.bookreviewsandmorebykathy.com/2012/05/01/flat-spin/ A (sometimes) Buddhist flight instructor who can't get over his ex-wife needs to solve the murder of her newer husband. This isn't going to go well. I liked the protagonist, Cordell, with all his flaws and charm and sense of humor. The plot was a bit convoluted, and the victim of murder didn't invite any sympathy, but the story was not grisly and kept me entertained. It was a bit heavy on the testosterone, but that was counterbalanced to an extent by Cordell's funny, feisty Jewish landlord. I liked the bits about flying the Ruptured Duck. This is a fun, fluff read that I probably will forget fairly quickly, but I'm going to continue with the series. I listened to an unabridged audio edition, downloaded from my local library, and the narration was very good. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: Based in sunny Rancho Bonita - "California's Monaco" as the city's moneyed minions like to call it - Cordell Logan is a literate, sardonic flight instructor and aspiring Buddhist with dwindling savings and a shadowy past. When his beautiful ex-wife, Savannah, shows up out of the blue to tell him that her husband has been murdered in Los Angeles, Logan is quietly pleased. Savannah's late husband is, after all, Arlo Echevarria, the man she left Logan for. Logan and Echevarria were once comrades-in-arms assigned to a top-secret military assassination team known simply as "Alpha." Though Savannah was never privy to the gritty details of their assignment, she suspects that Echevarria's death must be related to the work he did for the government. The only problem is, the LAPD can find no record of Echevarria ever having toiled for Uncle Sam. Savannah wants Logan to tell the police what he knows. At first he refuses, but then, relying on his small, aging airplane, the Ruptured Duck, and on the skills he honed working for the government, Logan doggedly hunts Echevarria's killer. His trail takes him from the glitzy Las Vegas Strip to the most dangerous ghettos of inner-city Oakland, from darkened, Russian mafia haunts in West Los Angeles to the deserts of Arizona. Along the way, Logan is stalked by a mysterious motorist who repeatedly tries to kill him. But that's the least of his problems. It is his love-hate relationship with Savannah, a woman Logan continues to pine for in spite of himself, that threatens to consume him. Transcending the worlds of murder, aviation and international counterterrorism, Flat Spin resonates with a veracity that only an author who knows his subject firsthand can deliver. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
