Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Wie fasst man einen Mörder, der längst tot ist?

In New York wurde ein Toter von der Decke hängend gefunden, das Wort "Köder" ist tief in seine Brust geritzt. Das lässt nur einen Schluss zu: Ein Killer kopiert den berühmten Londoner Ragdoll-Fall. Chief Inspector Emily Baxter wird sofort von den US-Ermittlern angefordert. In den USA ist der Druck der Medien enorm. Als ein zweiter Toter entdeckt wird, diesmal mit dem Wort "Puppe" auf der Brust, dreht die Presse völlig durch und mit ihr die Internet-Communities. Baxter und ihre Kollegen von FBI und CIA werden zum Spielball des grausamen Mörders - wer kann seinen Irrsinn stoppen? Und wer hält im Hintergrund die Fäden in der Hand?

Language: English

Release date: 12-14-17

Publisher: Macmillan Digital Audio

Publisher's Summary:

'Where does this all leave us, sir?'

'Things are moving fast.'

'We're getting near the end, you mean?'

'We were always near the end.'

The murder of Yvonne Harrison had left Thames Valley CID baffled. A year after the dreadful crime they are still no nearer to making an arrest. But one man has yet to tackle the case - and it is just the sort of puzzle at which Chief Inspector Morse excels.

So why is he adamant that he will not lead the re-investigation, despite the entreaties of Chief Superintendent Strange and dark hints of some new evidence? And why, if he refuses to take on the case officially, does he seem to be carrying out his own private enquiries?

For Sergeant Lewis this is yet another example of the unsettling behaviour his chief has been displaying of late....

Members Reviews:

Irascible & Entertaining To The End

If you read Inspector Morse mystery novels just to inhabit the mind of the great Inspector Morse, you will not be disappointed in this book. Morse is his usual humorous, superior, impatient, brilliant, irascible and entertaining self. To be frank, I got lost with some of the characters in this book, and the plot was all over the place in an unwieldy, zig-zag manner, probably akin to Oxford's roads, but I don't care. The plot is merely the vehicle to luxuriate in Morse's presence and his humble, under-rated Lewis. Their relationship is especially poignant in this book.

There are some surprises in this book. Not sure why the chief villain committed the murder, but nevermind. If Morse is sure, that's good enough for me. If you like Morse and Lewis, you should enjoy seeing them once again combine forces to solve an enigma.

still just as bad at it as ever

Chronologically the last Morse mystery, The Remorseful Day is something of a masterpiece. It's as if Colin Dexter decided to take every lesson he'd learned from a long career of writing Morse mysteries and condense them all into a single book. The scope is grander, the wit sharper and intrigue deeper than almost any other book in the series.

We meet a Morse who is somewhat more serious about the idea of self-improvement and, touchingly, still just as bad at it as ever. One would think that reading about a man's futile struggles with addiction would be somewhat tedious, but it's not. Dexter handles this subject matter with a light and graceful touch, thus providing a likeable and highly relatable flaw for a character who is in so many other ways exceptional. His great qualities have never, however, seemed to justify the sometimes cloying hero-worship of salt of the earth Sergeant Lewis, but in this instalment Lewis appears to discover a pair of clay feet for his hero, which adds an interesting dynamic.

Not only does The Remorseful Day fulfil Dexter's apparent wish to send his brilliant detective out with a bang, it ties off quite a lot of the elements of the 'Morse Universe', giving us insight and closure into Lewis, Strange and others. This is curiously satisfying all by itself, but don't worry - this particular mystery is a cracker. Multiple red herrings, a baffling but memorable assemblage of suspects and a motive that is not only key, but is dangled tauntingly in front of the reader's face from the very beginning...

Publisher's Summary:

The murder of Richard Daws, 14th Earl of Hartwood and a senior official at the National Crime Agency, at his home - the highly secure Hartwood Castle - has sent shock waves through MI5, MI6 and the Met.

Patrick Gillard and his wife, Ingrid Langley, face their most formidable task to date when Patrick vows to find his killer.

Members Reviews:

a little over the top--writing mostly good, plots several strands

#18--so a little repetition, engaging couple Ingrid woman writer and Patrick husband military/police work together to stop crime, children possible w/nanny and grandparents, country homelife but mostly action, Ingrid carries a gun too--not common in UK setting--a little cozy, a little over the top--writing mostly good, plots several strands, prepares you to read next one.

Dust To Dust (Gillard and Langley Mystery)

An old friend and familiar character is murdered. Several smaller crimes come up in the unofficial investigation. There's subterfuge, swindling, office politics, a kidnapping and numerous murder attempts. The murderers are found and all cases solved. But the old and now deceased friend will still be missed. Not the author's best work but I still love Patrick and Ingrid.

Another good one

Great follow up to the cliff hanger in the last book. A very satisfying conclusion. Patrick and Ingrid continue their adventures.

Good British Suspense

While this is the 19th in the Gillard and Langley Mystery Series, I have to admit that it is the first one that I have read and it will not be the last. The murder of Richard Daws, 14th Earl of Hartwood and a senior official at the National Crime Agency at his home â the highly secure Hartwood Castle â has sent shockwaves through MI5, MI6 and the Met.

Patrick Gillard, Dawsâ protégé and âadviserâ to the NCA, along with his wife and working partner, Ingrid Langley, vows to find his killer. Soon hunting down the recently out-of-jail Nicholas Haldane â a bent ex-civil servant who once tried to kill Daws, as well as dealing with the arrival of Irvine Baumgarten, an American claiming to be Dawsâ heir, and the suspicious disappearance of Dawsâ replacement at the NCA, Marcia Lindersland, not to mention MI5 on their tails, Patrick and Ingrid face a formidable task to catch Dawsâ killer.

Because I had not read previous books in the series, I was a bit confused at the beginning but was soon drawn into the book and began to figure things out. I understand why the two characters chose to spend their time running from various locations in the book, but it became a bit dizzying as the moved from London to Bath to the estate of Daws to other various places where the action took place.

Tom Harrison is the Tick Tock Man. He has the most dangerous job in Britain: defusing terrorist bombs. A job that demands nerves of steel and courage to match. But his skill is being tested to the limit by a new IRA bombing campaign.

It's different from the others, each device more deadly and cunning than the last, each more difficult for him to neutralise. It's almost as if someone is testing him, trying to find his limits - a long-dead adversary reaching out to him from beyond the grave.

Time and luck are running out. From Belfast to London, Harrison is pitched into a very personal battle - a battle where just one mistake will be his last.

One Star

Boring story with no solution at the end.

Batman?

This is the first volume in Nesbo's series of the Harry Hole cop novels. I got attracted to Nesbo and Hole by two of his later volumes, Nemesis, and Redbreast, which I liked a lot. Harry Hole is a Norwegian cop with a mixed history, including a wild youth and alcoholism. In this first case of the series he is sent to Sydney to help the Aussi police in investigating the murder of a young Norwegian woman. The case widens into more than just a single murder. There is so much more, that I lost interest. Nesbo did not yet know how to focus.

A warning: this book is not available in English. I read the German translation, since I would have needed two months trying to read the Norwegian original. This translation is lousy, or, alternatively, the English translator of the other books was so good that he made bad writing look good in translation.

In other words: stay away! Why then 2 stars and not 1? Because there are strong chapters, mainly those dealing with Hole in the early phase of the case, transported to The Land Down Under and trying to find his bearing. That is quite good, actually. But then the plot unfolds and leaves you cold in all its overdone heat.

The book's title? There seems to be an Aboriginal myth of death as a bat. The bad guy is a serial killer.

Noch ahnt Scarpetta nicht, dass diese Leiche auch mit ihr zu tun hat. Dass sie eine tödliche Nachricht von einem Menschen ist, der von Hass zerfressen ist.

Length: 9 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's Summary:

An ex-cop who navigates by a moral compass stubbornly jammed at true north, Dave Wakeland is a talented private investigator with next to zero business sense. And even though he finds himself with a fancy new office and a corporate-minded partner, he continues to be drawn to cases that are usually impossible to solve and frequently don't pay.

When Wakeland is hired by a terminally ill woman to discover the whereabouts of her adopted child - who disappeared as an adult more than a decade earlier - it seems like just another in a string of poor career decisions. But it turns out this case is worse than usual, even by his standards. With only an anonymous and vaguely worded tip to guide him, Wakeland interviews an imprisoned serial killer who seems to know nothing about the case, but who nonetheless steers him toward Vancouver's terrifying criminal underworld.

And it all goes downhill from there.

Whatever ghosts drive Wakeland, they seem to drive him inexorably toward danger - a journey he's content to take, so long as it means finding out what happened to someone the rest of the world seems happy enough to forget. With nothing to protect him but his wit and his empathy for the downtrodden and disenfranchised, Wakeland is on the case.

Wakeland's on the Case--Set your Mag-lite for Stun

INVISIBLE DEAD is one of those books where you know you are in good hands from the first couple of paragraphs, which cover a lot of ground with their collection of lean, well-crafted sentences. They tell you what kind of PI Dave Wakeland, the hero of the novel, is (he doesn't like serial killers, finds them uninteresting, though he could name a couple of exceptions); they give you an immediate sense of place (the Kent Institution is a maximum-security lockup "two hours east of Vancouver, past sprawling townships that seem intent on chewing through their farmland, regurgitating strip malls and noose-shaped cul-de-sacs of tract housing"); and they establish the lengths to which Lakeland is willing to go to get answers for his client. All the way--he is willing to go all the way. (Even to grotesque Kent, to see an uninteresting serial killer who might have information about a case.)

The novel is pure noir, but that isn't a knock--it's high compliment. Wiebe has taken the structure of a well-established and well-published niche and put it to use to tell a story about Vancouver in a way that feels neither like a formal exercise nor like exploitation. It is a fine novel, rendered with great precision and some seriously muscular prose. It is also concerned with low-visibility issues of social injustice--in this instance, the mistreatment of the young native women of Canada.

One highlight of the novel for me was "The Interlude," a chapter that showcases the unglamorous side of being a private investigator. In this section, Wakeland has to take a high-paying gig (his agency partner insists on it) providing security for a rich business guy in Winnipeg. Except Wakeland, with his utter inability to let a-holery slide, winds up turning the tables on the privileged, white-collar jerk he's been sent to protect in a memorable way that perfectly serves up a heaping plate of justice but nonetheless doesn't prevent the check from coming through.

Title: Bad Guys

Subtitle: A Zack Walker Mystery, Book 2

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-07-17

Publisher: Orion

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

The unlikely detective Zack Walker returns in this searingly funny mystery thriller from the dark and witty mind of best-selling author Linwood Barclay.

Zack Walker is back, and much to his family's relief, the work-at-home science-fiction writer has left the house to take a job as a features writer for the city paper. But now that Zack's incessant plotting can no longer be hatched from the comforts of his own home, he must be ever more vigilant to outwit the evil at large, whether in the suburbs, the city, or his own imagination. Zack is ready - or so he thinks.

While researching his first feature article, Zack stumbles upon a real-life crime scene, but what seems like an ordinary hit-and-run may actually be a homicide linked to a gang that's been stealing from Crandall's high-end shops. Suddenly Zack finds himself at the centre of a violent crime wave and destined for a confrontation with Barbie Bullock, an unsettling figure infamous in the crime syndicate for his ruthless business tactics and peculiar proclivity for collecting dolls.

And all is not quiet on the home front either. Zack's protective instincts launch into overdrive when he discovers that his daughter's rejected suitor has been tracing her every step and may harbour a much more ominous motivation than winning a Saturday night date.

As worlds begin to collide and boundaries between family and foe blur, Zack goes on the attack, and heaven help the bad guys when this resourceful father comes to make good on a deal gone bad.

Read by William Hope.
