Again a very readable police thriller, involving two psycho sisters and April Woo's struggles to advance in the cop's bureaucracy. Hanging Time follows Burning Time in the April Woo series, and once again this is not a particularly good book. It's rare that I give up on a book, however this nearly made it to that exclusive club. I'd even describe the first half as dull, it's not until the second murder and the conflicting evidence in the investigation comes that the story gets vaguely interesting. Not to the point of gripping mind you, just vaguely interesting where you somewhat question your original assumptions on who the real killer is, and yes despite the authors giant runway lights attempting to lead you in the direction of the easy open and shut answer, the true answer is right in front of you from virtually the beginning. Then just in case you didn't pick that up there's a trail of breadcrumbs throughout the entire novel that point to that answer also. I also feel that if this book were published today a good segment of the outrage culture subscribers would be all over this as racist with it's frequent 'Asian talk' such as "rucky rife" et cetera because apparently we the readers cannot truly appreciate an Asian character without caricature dialogue. In closing, if you're trapped on a island after a plane crash, been convicted and looking at a prison term, or will otherwise ensnared with no entertainment or distractions then this would be an option to pass time, but otherwise I'd recommend looking elsewhere for reading material. Te midden van de elegantie en gewelddadigheid van Newyorks Upper West Side wordt een verkoopster gevonden, opgehangen aan een kroonluchter in het magazijn van een trendy boetiek. Het slachtoffer heet Maggie Wheeler. Ze draagt een veel te grote jurk en haar gezicht is misvormd door opzichtige make-up. Kort daarop wordt opnieuw een vrouw op dezelfde wijze opgehangen aangetroffen in een winkel, ditmaal aan Second Avenue. Terwijl het politieonderzoek van deze schijnbaar rituele moorden in een stroomversnelling geraakt, krijgt April Woo een onverwacht telefoontje dat haar op een geheel ander spoor zet. Dan heeft April Woo al haar expertise nodig - plus een korreltje voorouderlijke Chinese wijsheid - om de ingewikkelde draden van deze bizarre zaak te ontwarren. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
