Product Description

Review

'Alexandra Cooper, like her creator, Linda Fairstein, is a force to contend with' Sue Grafton


Product Description

After a lull of four years, the 'silk stocking rapist' is back at work on the Upper East side, but this time Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper and Detective Mike Chapman have perfect DNA evidence to work with. They also have a much older case to work on - a skeleton has been found entombed in the wall of a house Edgar Allan Poe once lived in, but it turns out to be a relatively modern murder - from 1978. On the day the discovery of this body is leaked to the press, Alex gets a call that the silk stocking rapist has struck again, this time fatally. Or has he? The m.o. isn't precisely the same as the others, and it transpires that the victim worked in Poe's old house in 1978. Are the cases linked or is someone trying to silence possible witness to a thirty-five-year-old murder?

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, 15 Jan 2006
By O. Doyle "celticshedevil" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Entombed (Alexandra Cooper Series) (Paperback)
This is the first Linda Fairstein book I’ve ready and I found it thoroughly enjoyable. The story starts by the reemergence of an old enemy – ‘the silk stocking rapist’. After a four year absence he strikes again and his first mistake gives the ADA Alex Cooper her first break in the case.

As you wait for the story to develop another plot opens up when a body is found entombed behind a wall in a building under renovation. Before long you’re sucked into two cases and there are so many suspects that it’s hard to see until the very end who exactly is responsible for the spate of dead bodies.

I really enjoyed this book although I did find all the information about Edgar Allan Poe slightly OTT at times.

This is one of those books that will keep you turning pages right until the very end. There’s suspense, tragedy and hear-break all rolled into one and it makes for a fascinating read. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great thriller/police procedural! & new favorite author, 9 Jan 2005
I had never heard of this author before. My mother left her copy at my house after visting over the holidays. I picked it it up one day and decided to give it try, and I am glad I did! The book is a series But it stood up well for me even though I was coming in with no prior experince; you don't have to read the ealier books to enjoy this one.

The book starts with the discovery of a skeleton entombed in a brick wall of a New York city brownstone that once belonged to Edward Allen Poe. A classic chilling scene right out of a Poe story! That is until sex crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper (the seriers hero)Finds the bones to be aproximately 25 years old, a lot younger then Poe's genration. It does appear that the killer has a facination with the classic horror author.

The book's plot also involves the "Silk Stocking rapist." Who has struck again this time brutally injuring a Sweedish exchange student who attempts to fight back. This was actually the most suspensful part of the book, as the bodies pile up and Cooper trys to discover the killer's ID before he can strike again!

The author's knowledge the criminal justice system and police procedures gives realism to the story. She appears to know well the difficulties facing prosucuters and the emotional distress that the victims of sex crimes must deal with. This helps make the book better then the typical thriller/suspence novel.

The author also does a great job with her characters, brining them to life without going into the stereotype closet (and least not too much). I also liked the way she is able to write realistic action scenes, something I have found weak in many females author's work.

Anyway, I recommend this book to anyone looking for a High quality suspense/thiller, and I am looking forward to reading the authors earlier novels. Oh! I also recommend "A Tourist in the Yucatan" interesting acheological thriller!

1.0 out of 5 stars Fairstein Fails, 22 May 2005
By A Customer
Only read this novel if you are a genuine Fairstein fan and won't mind being disappointed by a story that is disjointed, slow and unconvincing. Alexandra's ability to solve the case of the silk stocking rapist is contrived and unbelievable. The incident which affects Mike Chapman is too convenient and although it seems designed add to or explain the bond between Alex and Mike and may be included for the development in a further novel, it does not add to the story being told and is an insult to the intelligence of readers, especially those who have read all of Fairstein's previous works.
