Chargement... Indélébilepar Karin Slaughter
   Books Read in 2022 (4,104) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  ginsengman | Feb 1, 2024 |   I am a big fan of Ms. Slaughter's work but found this particular book difficult to get through. It may be the constant flashbacks to when Sara and Jeffrey first began dating then flashing forward to the current state of affairs. It was a compelling story but just did not like the way it was put together. (  ) Lcmcsr | Mar 27, 2023 | Natt90 | Jan 31, 2023 | Sara is visiting Jeffrey at the police station when two armed men suddenly appear and hold hostage everyone there. No one knows why. Now cut to another story 10 years ago. Sara and Jeffrey had not been seeing each other for long. They decided to vacation together in Florida, but on the way Jeffrey decided to stop by the town where he grew up. And what a nightmare that turned out to be! Both stories are told at the same time in alternating chapters. Both stories are tense and make this a true mystery/thriller. My only criticism is that, in one of the stories, in three instances, someone gives a full confession. That felt a little contrived to me, although I guess you could say that all fiction is contrived.

La trama scorre su due linee temporali che si alternano.
La prima, al presente, segue il sanguinoso assalto alla stazione di polizia di Grant, mentre la seconda segue il passato dei due protagonisti.
Nell'insieme è un po' pesante, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il flashback, sarebbe stato meglio accrescere la cronaca del presente.
Direi che è interessante solo per chi vuole approfondire la storia di Sara e Jeffrey; dopo questo libro (l'ultimo tradotto in italiano..) si passerà alla serie di Will Trent. (
