Murder at Greysbridge: Inishowen Mysteries
Autor Andrea Carteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 apr 2019
Remarcăm cum Murder at Greysbridge consolidează poziția scriitoarei Andrea Carter în rândul maeștrilor misterului clasic. Al patrulea titlu din seria Inishowen Mysteries o regăsește pe Ben O'Keeffe într-un moment de răscruce. O ofertă de muncă din America îi tulbură liniștea, însă Inishowen nu o lasă să plece atât de ușor. Cadrul idilic al hotelului Greysbridge, proaspăt renovat, devine scena unei tragedii brutale chiar în timpul unei nunți. Un tânăr american se îneacă sub ochii tuturor. Seara aduce o a doua moarte. Tensiunea crește instantaneu. Nimeni nu poate pleca. Toți oaspeții sunt suspecți. Considerăm că forța narativă a acestui volum stă în izolarea geografică și psihologică a peninsulei. Cine a citit Death at Whitewater Church va recunoaște aici aceeași iscusință în a dezgropa secretele unei comunități închise, însă Murder at Greysbridge schimbă dinamica, trecând de la misterul istoric la urgența unui caz cu suspecți prezenți sub același acoperiș. Față de tonul mai sumbru din There Came A-Tapping, unde teroarea era aproape palpabilă, acest roman polițist mizează pe deducție și atmosferă. Andrea Carter construiește un puzzle ingenios într-un decor spectacol. Ritmul este alert. Finalul este o cursă contra cronometru. Este o lectură care onorează tradiția genului, aducând-o în prezent cu o precizie chirurgicală.

Descriere
'A beguiling heroine - clever, sympathetic and bearing a weight of guilt' The Times
Accident or murder? A perfect day hides the perfect crime . . .
Summer has arrived in Inishowen and solicitor Ben O'Keeffe is greatly tempted by a job offer she's received from a law firm in America.
Yet before making any life-changing decisions there is her friend Leah's wedding to attend at the newly restored Greysbridge Hotel, with its private beach and beautiful pier. It's the perfect location, everyone agrees, but the festivities are brutally cut short when a young American, a visitor also staying at the hotel, drowns in full view of the wedding guests.
And when a second death is discovered the same evening, Ben finds herself embroiled in a real country house murder mystery, where all the guests are suspects . . .

Recenzii
The colourful cast of characters may be fictional, but the landscapes, towns and villages are instantly recognisable
Death at Whitewater Church is a charming debut that bodes well for Andrea Carter
I adored this traditional crime novel; it's modern day Agatha Christie with Ben as Miss Marple
A promising start
Another thriller full of twists from the solicitor turned author
There's gripping suspense in contrast to the warm and well drawn Irish country community in solicitor sleuth Benedicta 'Ben' O'Keefe's third case
Carter writes very much in the village mystery tradition, with a likeable amateur detective, an atmospheric and vividly rendered sense of place and engagingly drawn series characters ... The Well of Ice moves towards a spectacular and explosive conclusion
A pure delight, featuring a lively crew of memorable characters, action aplenty and stunning scenery
A moving - and exciting - well-observed account of crime, innocence, gullibility, and a determination to get things right ... the ideal novel to read curled up in front of a good fire while storms rage outside
A proper old-fashioned crime novel in the best sense of the word
An engaging read
