I was listening to an audio version of this book but I really enjoyed it. I recently discovered Thomas H. Cook and am working my way through his works that are available on audio and have yet to be disappointed. I enjoy his style of writing, his endings are always a surprise and rarely a stretch. Now I am on to The Interrogation! :-) ( ) I'm a fan of Thomas H. Cook. I loved Red Leaves and was less enthralled with, but still enjoyed Chatham School Affair and Sandrine's Case. I am 1/2 through this book and I am giving up. I don't do that very often. I usually trudge through to the end. I'm not sympathetic with the protagonist starving photographer whose ex wife is trying to regain custody of their child. HIs dark grousing and intent on sticking with free lance photography in the middle of NYC rather than providing a safe environment for a 12 year old daughter does not make me want to say "oh, poor David." I just don't care if he finds out about the woman who jumped from the tenement in Hell's Kitchen. Not his best work. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A photographer struggles to understand a stranger's suicide There's nothing special about the woman's death. It comes over the police radio like any other sad story: a woman found on the sidewalk, killed after plunging from her apartment. But something about the gruesome scene grabs David Corman's attention. A freelance photographer with a defunct marriage and a career on the skids, he fixates on this mysterious death. Though near starvation, the woman had been buying formula to feed to a baby doll. Before she leapt, she tossed the plastic child out the window. David photographs the dead woman and her pretend child; although he's jaded, the strange scene stirs his compassion, and he begins researching her past. He's convinced that his job has shown him the worst the city has to offer. But learning the truth behind this futile suicide will teach David that New York is even uglier than he imagined.
