Someone calling themselves Captain Hunger is kidnapping children and keeping them in a box and starving them and finally killing them. Demoted detective Mechelle Deakes is partnered with Hank Gooch, whom she has a hard time figuring out, to crack the case. At times, Mechelle's old life of yearning for drugs, overshadows her need to solve the case. ( ) I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the story and the way it developed but I really disliked the majority of the characters. I'm not sure that a white man can honestly write a book with a black woman as the main character and do her justice. I feel like her character feel flat. the white male characters were more relatable and believable. The Body Box is the 1st in the Gooch & Deakes Series. I loved the strong-silent-type character of Hank Gooch. He doesn’t say much, but he can be very funny, at times. This book was very hard to put down. I was surprised who the killer turned out to be.Lynn Abercrombie, is a pseudonym used by Walter Sorrells. I can’t wait to read the next book, Blind fear. This was just okay. It certainly keeps you guessing, but it's hard to have much respect for Mechelle. She's pretty much a giant screw-up, and not in a particularly endearing way. And since you only ever see Gooch in a way that's colored by her view, you never really feel much for him. About the best thing I can say about it is that it contains an accurate portrayal of rural/poor Southern speech patterns. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Terror He calls it the Body Box. It's a space too small for his victims to sit up or lie down. But it's the perfect place to keep them for his games--the perfect place to watch them while they die. Can't Be Bad choices and big mistakes have landed Detective Mechelle Deakes on the Atlanta Police Department's lowest rung, the Cold Case Unit. Sifting through forensic evidence and unsolved murder files is a thankless job she shares with her new partner, Lieutenant Hank Gooch, a man of few words and even fewer for African-American female cops like Mechelle. His single obsession is finding a serial killer who preys on the most innocent of victims, a man he thinks is responsible for many of the most gruesome unsolved cases in their files. And one chilling look convinces Mechelle that Hank's right. Contained It's a case that has been cold for a reason. Someone wants it to stay closed. And two cops will risk everything--their jobs, their reputations, even their lives--to uncover the truth, no matter where it takes them. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
