Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Exciting ending. I was afraid the author was taking me on a wild goose chase, but not so. The plot strings were tied together at the end, The beginning and middle had backstory and generalized action that didn’t excite or move the story along. I was satisfied at the end. ( ) No one else has reviewed this book? Maybe it's a bit too old. This is a very good murder mystery. The author has a very good writing style. His main character does most of the leaping to conclusions to make the reader follow her thoughts, so it's not bad a misdirection. Good airplane book, but probably mainly for female readers. no reviews | add a review
When a decapitated corpse washes up on the banks of the Hudson River, a New York suburb is sent into an uproar Commuters waiting for the morning train into Manhattan in the small Hudson River town of Riverside are the first to see the body. She drifts out of the river, naked and headless, shocking the onlookers before they board their train to work. Riverside Police Chief Harold Baltimore can't get away from her so easily. A black chief in a white town, he's new to his job and not at all sure he's suited to it. At first it looks like a routine mob murder, but when one of his detectives identifies the corpse as a local woman, the news rocks quiet little Riverside--and the town won't ever be quiet again. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Blauner including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection. No library descriptions found. |
