Unfortunately, the storyline requires a definite willingness to suspend belief. On the plotting side, Patchett starts out slow (which makes sense given her more literary roots), but ends up at a full fledged gallop by the time Marina gets deep into the Amazon. In my mind, she didn't fully succeed at either and ended up with a book that was engaging, but ultimately mediocre. So, Patchett is essentially trying to write a crossover book that is both genre (suspense) and literary fiction. Second, she needs to find out what happened to the employee who was sent earlier to investigate the same situation. First, she must investigate whether a scientist who was hired by the company to develop a new drug is actually doing anything of the sort. The protagonist of this book, Marina, is sent to the Amazon by her company with a two fold mission. With razor-sharp prose and mordant wit, Chantal V.

She lives in a constant state of hypervigilant awareness that makes even a simple tube ride into a heart-pounding drama.

Eilis looked on silently as her sister moistened her lips and then checked herself one more time in the pocket mirror before putting it away. She was studying herself closely as she applied lipstick and eye make-up before glancing at her overall appearance in the large hall mirror, settling her hair. Rose, in the hall, was holding her pocket mirror in front of her face. Her golf clubs were in the hall in a few minutes, Eilis knew, someone would call for her and her sister would not return until the summer evening had faded.Įilis's bookkeeping classes were almost ended now she had a manual on her lap about systems of accounting, and on the table behind her was a ledger where she had entered, as her homework, on the debit and credit sides, the daily business of a company whose details she had taken down in notes in the Vocational School the week before.Īs soon as she heard the front door open, Eilis went downstairs. Rose was wearing a cream-coloured cardigan over her shoulders. She watched Rose crossing the street from sunlight into shade, carrying the new leather handbag that she had bought in Clerys in Dublin in the sale. Eilis Lacey, sitting at the window of the upstairs living room in the house on Friary Street, noticed her sister walking briskly from work.

Allie gets involved in Jamie's case, and Cam, who has spent his life in service to his community and his clan, falls in love with Mia and begins an affair that will bring his marriage to the breaking point and change it profoundly. On the same day, Cam's wife, Allie, the local florist, hires Mia, a violet-eyed beauty with a genius for flower arranging. But as police chief, Cam must also prosecute. On a seemingly ordinary day in Wheelock, Jamie MacDonald, a cousin of Cameron's, drives to the police station and announces: ""My wife here, Maggie, is dead, and I'm the one who killed her."" Cam finds himself saddled with a murder case and a conflict of interest: his cousin has given in to the pleas of his cancer-ravaged wife to kill her, and he's come to the clan chief to confess. The setting is Wheelock, Mass., a slightly eccentric town where most of the residents are of Scottish descent, where weddings end in a blood vow, the name MacDonald is ""painted on an alarming number of mailboxes"" and police chief Cameron MacDonald doubles as clan chief and protector. What could have been a competent, topical novel about a mercy killing becomes, in Picoult's (following Picture Perfect, 1995) hands, an inspired meditation on love. This is the Green Lanterns I've been waiting for.īad: Sometimes I got confused who was who again for the Lanterns. Oh, and how awesome was it to see the Lanterns go all "FUCK OFF" and blow a villains head right off? Yeah. The art is great, and the universe and fights never looked so good.
