RRP: £7.99 Pages: 324 Paperback Crime Fiction
I am a fan of Jeffery Deaver's work, but I found this one incredibly hard to read. I admit to skipping over sections of it which I just couldn't read. This wasn't his usual Lincoln Rhyme series and maybe I have been spoiled by that series for all of Deavers' other books. This one just didn't come up to par. It took really long (actually, never) to get into the story, and the story just didn't grab my attention - it was predictable and dull. Shame.
John Pellam had been in the trenches of filmmaking, with a promising Hollywood career - until tragedy sidetracked him. Now he is a location scout, travelling the country in search of shooting sites for films. When he rides down Main Street, locals usually clamour for their chance at fifteen minutes of fame.
But in a small town in upstate New York, Pellam experiences a very different reception. His illusionary world is shattered by a savage murder, and Pellam is suddenly centre stage in an unfolding drama of violence, lust and conspiracy in this less-than-picture-perfect locale.
Rating - 3 out of 10 - a disappointing facimile of Deavers normal work
