![]() I think this is a very pessimistic yet truthful description. ![]() Malice does not have to emerge from a justifiable reason, the simple existence o someone doing better than you is enough to stir up the sense of hatred in your heart. (Spoiler!) The main reason I like this novel is its depiction of jealousy. However, for Malice, the surprise is not brought by a clever plot, but the extreme degree of evilness of the murderer. For most of the detective novels, no matter how atypical and unconventional it is, the basic requirement is that it needs to challenge readers intellectually. It is a very good novel, but not a very successful detective novel. The only problem with this novel is that the method of committing the crime is way too simple. ![]() It is very perceptive of the dark side of human nature and has made a lot of psychological description on that area. This is my favourite work from Keigo Higashino apart from Detective Galileo. ![]()

![]() ![]() Simultaneous release with the Doubleday hardcover. The bonus telephone interview with Jessop on the final disc suffers from poor sound quality and, unfortunately, doesn't add any new information. ![]() She maintains the same rhythm, but through the inspired words of the text, she really embraces Jessop's persona.

Carolyn Jessop was born into the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a group splintered from and renounced by the Mormon Church, and spent most of her life in Colorado City, Arizona, the main base of the FLDS. Though sometimes her retelling overflows with colorful foreshadowing and commentary on how exceptional she is, the everyday details she reveals about this polygamous society are devastating and tragic. She recounts the horrid events that led her to break free from the oppressive world she knew and how she has managed to survive since escaping, despite threats and legal battles with her husband and the Church. Seventeen years after being forced into a polygamous marriage, Jessop escaped from the cultlike Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints with her eight children. ![]() ![]() ![]() The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out.īut as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist-or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively.

Martin’s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy. Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a police procedural with a conscience, as invested in examining how and why American law enforcement so often fails to uphold its mandate to protect and serve all people equally as it is in telling a compelling story. I cannot wait to read the next Trevor Finnegan book." -Jason Pinter, bestselling author of Hide Away "Aaron Philip Clark's Under Color of Law is extraordinary. Under Color of Law is a landmine placed at the intersection of law enforcement, race, media, and politics by an author who clearly knows the volatile territory. ![]() ![]() crime novels alongside Connelly's The Black Echo, Mosley's Devil in a Blue Dress, and Ellroy's The Black Dahlia. It's a frightening, tragic tale." -Library Journal (starred review) "This is a smart, suspenseful police procedural with a timely plot." -Publishers Weekly "An absolutely riveting book that belongs in the pantheon of L.A. "Harrowing evidence for Spike Lee's famous claim that everything that happens in America is about race." -Kirkus Reviews "Clark's ripped-from-the-headlines police procedural should make readers uncomfortable. ![]() |
