Recenzii
Rich in atmosphere, strong in story, hinges on human complexity
Genuinely unnerving ... interested in subtle, complex questions of identity, family and history
Locke was shortlisted for the Orange prize for her debut. This is even better
Far more than a crime novel, covers the fallout from divorce, regret, poverty and bitter family secrets
An intelligent and beguiling mystery that examines how our past haunts our present, told by a unique voice in contemporary crime fiction
Attica Locke writes with equal amounts grace and passion. After just two novels, I'd probably read the phone book if her name was on the spine
Attica Locke is a stand-out in every way
Attica Locke's work raises searingly important questions that demand to be answered. The Cutting Season is about the dark possibilities that lie within us all. A thrilling read
A good crime novel on its own, but Locke has woven through it an engrossing exploration of freedom in all its trickiest aspects ... an involving and moving novel
A well-crafted warning about the damage wrought - generational, social, romantic - when the past is distorted or denied
Beautifully conveys the atmosphere of a sad past haunting a benighted present
This is a highly engrossing and genuinely thought-provoking piece of crime fiction: one that reminds us of the genre's potential to go well beyond simple entertainment
A subtle thriller with real historical heft

Textul de pe ultima copertă
From Attica Locke, a writer and producer of FOX’s Empire:
“The Cutting Season is a rare murder mystery with heft, a historical novel that thrills, a page-turner that makes you think. Attica Locke is a dazzling writer with a conscience.”—Dolen Perkins-Valdez, New York Times bestselling author of Wench
After her breathtaking debut novel, Black Water Rising, won acclaim from major publications and respected crime fiction masters like James Ellroy and George Pelecanos, Locke returns with The Cutting Season, a second novel easily as gripping and powerful as her first—a heart-pounding thriller that interweaves two murder mysteries, one on Belle Vie, a historic landmark in the middle of Lousiana’s Sugar Cane country, and one involving a slave gone missing more than one hundred years earlier. Black Water Rising was nominated for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, an Edgar® Award, and an NAACP Image Award, and was short-listed for the Orange Prize in the U.K.
