A man brings his daughter to Martha's Vineyard to uncover the truth about her mother's death in this suspense novel by master of crime fiction Ed McBain.   For the first time since their daughter was born, Zachary and Mary Blake are taking a trip alone, calling it it their second honeymoon. After months of vicious infighting at his broadcasting job, Zach is looking forward to a relaxing vacation on Martha's Vineyard, a paradise untouched by time. But the respite won't last for long.   When Mary's body is discovered, the coroner deems it accidental drowning, but Zach can't accept that. One year later, he returns to the island to find proof that his wife was murdered. He has a letter from a resident claiming to know the true story of Mary's death, but when he goes to meet his correspondent, she's been gruesomely murdered. With his nine-year-old daughter, Penny, by his side, Zach begins asking dangerous questions. Unhinged by grief, he'll do anything to find out what really happened, but every move he makes puts Penny's life in greater danger.   A hard-driving suspense story, Even the Wicked is a classic crime novel. Written by Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Ed McBain, it explores the terrifying truths lurking in the shadows of a small, sleepy town.  … (altro)

Zachary Blake takes his young daughter on a trip to Martha's Vineyard, in hopes that he can find out the truth about the drowning of his wife the year before. As Blake digs deeper into the mystery, he begins to realize that the drowning wasn't as accidental as he was led to believe. Will he be able to find out the truth about what happened to his wife before he or someone else gets hurt?

I really enjoyed this novel by Ed McBain. I couldn't put it down once I started and it had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire novel.

I received this novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

This re-release of Ed McBain’s (writing as Richard Marsten) thriller is a short, action-packed suspense novel for readers looking for a quick thrill. Zach Blake returns to Martha’s Vineyard with his daughter Penny one year after his wife’s drowning off the shores. After receiving a mysterious letter suggesting that her death was not an accident, Zach returns to investigate. This novel (novella?) written in the 1950’s feels contemporary in many ways, with the glaring exception of lack of personal technology. While a longer narrative might allow for a more tightly woven plot, this short thriller packs a punch.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks!

This review pertains to the October 25, 2016 re-release published by Open Road Integrated Media -- not in the LibraryThing catalog
