It is a pleasure to find a new mystery, especially one set in Glasgow. ( ) Paddy Meehan, una joven de 18 años, trabaja como botones en un periódico de Glasgow y sueña con llegar a ser periodista. Un dÃa, a la redacción llega la historia de la muerte de un niño a manos de dos chavales de diez y once años, pero Paddy ve pistas que indican que detrás de los dos chicos hay un adulto. Pronto se dará cuenta de que sus investigaciones pueden llevarla a un suicidio profesional, una crisis personal y, además, ponerla en grave peligro. 5633. Field of Blood A Novel by Denise Mina (read 19 Jun 2019) I asked the library tor the book, The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to Civil War, by Joanne B. Freeman. The library told me the book was ready to pick up so I did and I was given this book by Denise Mina. I had never heard of her and would never have read the book but since I had it and had brought it home I decided to read it. I did, and at first I was a bit attracted to the story when the central character, Paddy Meehan, a young fat woman,who works for a Scottish newspaper in Glasgow and is engaged to Sean seeks to have sex with her fiance and he wisely says he prefers to wait till they are married. This is such a novelty in modern day fiction that I was impressed and admiratory of Sean. The story proceeds with a young child being brutally murdered by, apparently, two young boys. Paddy thinks the boys have been set to the evil deed by a man and investigates and finds the murder occurred exactly to the day eight years after another boy was murdered. She investigates and gives the name of another employee at the paper and that named employee is murdered. Things proceed and Paddy takes up smoking and loses her virginity--not, I was pleased,to Sean. She breaks up with Sean, to my regret, and all seems pretty unlikely and the book ends in an inconclusive way and I thought the story was jerkily told with little in it that impressed me. There is no danger I will read anything more by Mina. But I still want to read the book The Field of Blood, by Freeman, and I am confident I will find it a better book than this one was. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
