The Killing Choice: Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month ‘Riveting' de Will Shindler

The Killing Choice: Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month ‘Riveting': DI Alex Finn

Autor Will Shindler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 feb 2021

Ce ai alege dacă supraviețuirea copilului tău ar depinde de abandonul tău fizic în fața morții? Subliniem miza psihologică brutală din primele pagini: Karl și fiica sa, Leah, sunt atacați în Crystal Palace Park de o figură mascată. Dilema este atroce. Fugi și trăiți amândoi, sau rămâi și muriți împreună? Notăm cu interes modul în care Will Shindler transformă o plimbare obișnuită într-un experiment al terorii pure. Reținem ritmul alert, specific unui autor care a scris scenarii pentru drame polițiste de top. La intersecția dintre The Choice și The Burning Men, această carte combină tensiunea alegerilor morale imposibile cu rigoarea unei proceduri polițiste autentice. În timp ce în The Choice accentul cade pe instinctul matern, aici Shindler explorează vulnerabilitatea figurii paterne și trauma care urmează deciziei. Față de debutul său în The Burning Men, autorul rafinează relația dintre detectivii Alex Finn și Mattie Paulsen, oferindu-le un adversar fără chip și fără motive aparente. Stilul este tăios. Propozițiile sunt scurte, ca niște rafale. Londra devine o tablă de șah unde fiecare mișcare a criminalului anulează logica investigației clasice. Este o cursă contra cronometru în care moralitatea este luxul pe care personajele nu și-l permit.

THE SECOND NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BURNING MEN, FEATURING DI ALEX FINN AND DCI MATTIE PAULSEN

5* RATING ON NETGALLEY
'Don't think I've loved a Detective as much since Idris Elba's John Luther'
'Will Schindler's books have all the hallmarks of future classics of this genre'
'A sharp police procedural with an interesting plot'
'The greatest strengths lies in the terrific police team whose characters are so well fleshed out they feel real'
'I loved the storyline, it kept me on edge till the end'
'A real contender, which is up there with the best'

'Leave your daughter with me, or I will kill you both'

It felt like a normal Friday evening before Karl and his daughter Leah were ambushed by a figure in a blank mask. At knife point, Karl is forced to make an impossible choice. Stay and die, or walk away from Leah and take this thug's word that they both will live.

Should Karl trust a villain and leave his daughter with a knife at her throat? Could he ever live with himself if he did?

It's not long before more seemingly unconnected and innocent people across London are offered a deal in exchange for their life. More blood is spilled, more families shattered, and more people are left to suffer with the consequences of their decisions.

DI Alex Finn and DC Mattie Paulsen must hunt for a killer that appears to have no face, no motive and no conscience before more victims are forced to make their choice.

This is second in Will Shindler's Finn and Paulsen series - a British detective series that ranks with Mark Billingham, M.J. Arlidge and Stuart MacBride.

Recenzii

The explosive opening hooked me straight in . . . With a cast of credible characters, a twisting plotline and some ingenious twists, the book develops at a cracking pace
An outstanding page-turner
Warm and dealing with recognisable emotions, this is the best kind of police procedural
DI Alex Finn and DCI Mattie Paulsen are back, this time chasing someone who forces their victims to make an impossible life-and-death decision. This is sitting up and begging to be developed for television
Riveting . . . Shindler's second novel displays an acute understanding of family dynamics, easily fulfilling the promise of his debut, The Burning Men
An excellent second outing for the cop pair following their introduction in The Burning Men - and as fine a police procedural as you'd want for a cold winter's night
The Killing Choice is the second in a series that opened with The Burning Men , and is another adept police procedural, building the sense of dread to breaking point as Finn and Paulsen rush to uncover any links between the victims. This is an immersive read that leaves the reader wondering how they would react if faced with such an unimaginable choice
Riveting
This slick tense thriller about families, loyalty, guilt and revenge is top notch
This slick, tense thriller about families, loyalty, guilt and revenge is top notch - and no doubt heading to TV screens soon
This riveting novel has a protagonist faced with a choice no parent should have to make: does he save his own life or that of his daughter? His decision has catastrophic consequences
Thrilling
