Tweede deel in een geplande serie misdaadverhalen over de blonde, tengere Sam (Samantha) Falconer, voormalig wereldkampioen judo, die in Londen het detectivebureau De Zachte Weg runt, gespecialiseerd in het opsporen van vermiste personen. Haar part-time assistent en beste vriend is de homoseksuele ex-politieagent Alan Knowles. Sam heeft een reusachtige rode kater, Frank Cooper, en een intrigerend, duister verleden. In dit verhaal onderzoekt ze de mysterieuze verdwijning van een talentvolle jonge roeier uit Oxford (veelbelovende kandidaat voor de jaarlijkse Boat Race). De roeier blijkt een duistere tweelingbroer te hebben. Maar er is meer aan de hand in Sams leven: ze volgt wat onwillig therapie vanwege haar turbulente verleden, dat stukje bij beetje duidelijker wordt, en verder denkt ze dat ze gestalkt wordt. Is het haar jarenlang doodgewaande, gewelddadige vader die plotseling weer is opgedoken? Een met vaart geschreven, boeiend, spannend misdaadverhaal met veel Oxfordse sfeer, waarin het intrigerende leven van de sympathieke, gecompliceerde hoofdpersoon minstens net zo belangrijk is als het - zeker goede en interessante - plot. Blakes eerste Sam Falconer verhaal 'Schaduw van het verleden'* kreeg drie sterren in VN's Detective & Thrillergids.

This is a another mystery from Victoria Blake with her Oxford sleuth, Sam Falconer and it's a good one. Sam is asked by the Oxford University Boat Club to find a young rower who has disappeared just before the all important race with Cambridge. Her search leads her to the icy waters of the Thames but the body is not the rower. At the same time, her sinister father, a former SAS officer, shows up at her London apartment claiming he is being pursued by assasins. Highly recommended. ( )

I really enjoyed this book as it weaves the threads of an investigation into a Oxford undergraduate who goes missing just as he's due for selection for the University Boat Race with Sam Falconer's life. Sam's life essentially implodes as, despite her protests, her father reenters her life ( )

For some reason this book didn't engage me at all, it had all the elements present, but for me they didn't click, demonstrated by the fact it took me a week to read it. The story is of a missing Oxford Blue oarsman investigated by a female private detective with a serious personality disorder and the story interweaves her personal life which unravels with her hunt for the missing oarsman. On the plus side good realistic locations in and around Putney (home of the boat race) and Oxford. ( )
