Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 1109 ( ) It's set in older times, so it's not bogged down with technological horse manure and cell phones and pagers. It's nice. It's not strictly a crime/detective novel, but it does dance around the border of mystery. I did notice though, that Fremont Jones is a bit of a feminist. Probably valiant in those times, but I'm quite fond of bras and corsets. Not a bad read. 3.5 out of 5 typical men. At the end of the previous book she goes off with the guy, in love, but it doesn't even get so far as the bed before they are on the outs again. It doesn't make sense. Why would he invite her to live near him & then start flaking out & not explain to her that it is an act? Most (all?) of the personal relationships in this book didn't make sense. I was introduced to this book, author and series (of which this is not the first in the series) by the LibrarySuggester of LibraryThing. Although not as individually compelling as some heroes/heroines of other mystery series, Day's Fremont Jones does grab your attention and take you for a turn-of-the-century ride. Set on the Monterey Peninsula shortly after the great 1906 San Fransisco earthquake, Fremont Jones finds herself temporarily the keeper of the Point Pinos lighthouse. As such she spies a body floating in the bay during one of her daily watches. The body of a woman is brought ashore, but left unidentified by the locals and the medical examiner- until Fremont gets involved. The oddball artist community in Carmel, the suave Braxton Furnivall, and an assortment of other characters moves the story along on shear personality alone. Somewhat predictable towards the end, it is nevertheless a fun and engaging read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieFremont Jones (3)
Forced to leave San Francisco after the devastating earthquake of 1906, Fremont (née Caroline) Jones follows her heart to the bohemian beach community of Carmel-by-the-Sea. She is eager to be reunited with her elusive suitor, retired spymaster Michael Archer, but finds him mysteriously metamorphosed into Misha--otherwise occupied and decidedly unavailable for sleuthing. But the irrepressible Fremont Jones has her pride, and determined to restart her typewriting business part-time, she signs on as temporary keeper of the Point Pinos Lighthouse. She has barely settled in to her watch when a velvet-clad corpse washes in on the tide--and Fremont is off on a new and ultimately life-threatening quest. Starting with the free-spirited artists of Carmel, she searches for clues to the identity of the dead woman and uncovers a community filled with intrigue, violence, and plenty of motives for murder. When Fremont is attacked and robbed, her lighthouse torched, and the artist helping her turns up missing, she realizes she is perilously close to the truth. And that the next body to drift in on the tide might well be her own. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
