Format:Paperback
I am a huge fan of Jeff Deaver, but unfortunately this is not one of his best. Jeff Deaver is an excellent writer, who can be relied on for solid plots, superb characters and excellent dialogue, so this does have a good story and realistic characters, but it is not the rollercoaster excitement that those fans of Jeff Deaver know him for. If you have never read any Deaver before, then you will enjoy the book because it is very well rounded and has enough interest to make it light holiday type reading. But if you have experienced Deaver at his best, for example with the Lincoln Rhyme novels or the Devil's Teardrop or the Blue Nowhere, dont bother with this as you will be disappointed. If it was a film, it would be Sunday afternoon gentle watching rather than Hollywood blockbuster!
Format:Paperback
Hell's Kitchen is the third (and so far final) Jeffrey Deaver Location Scout novel. Whilst doing research in Hell's Kitchen, Pellam is caught in the fire that burns down a tenement building. The prime suspect is Ettie Wilkes Washington, the old black woman he has been interviewing for his oral history of Hell's Kitchen. Convinced of her innocence, Pellam starts his own investigation. He mixes it with fire marshals, street kids, youth outreach workers, jaded lawyers, Latino and Irish gangs, land developers, high society and a pyromaniac. Who is telling the truth, and what are cleverly fabricated lies? Is anyone, including Pellam, being completely honest? Once again, plenty of twists in the tale, leading to a dramatic conflagration. An excellent Location Scout novel with room for sequels if Deaver decides to revisit this reluctant hero.
Format:Hardcover
Film maker John Pellam is out on the streets with his camera once again. as usual diving head first into a pool of mystery, intrigue and murder. This is a totally readable novel and Deaver is doing what he does best..lots of twists and turns. You never quite know if Pellam is going to get through this one unscathed!
