About this deal

And my story is about a scientist discovering the smoking gun, if you like, that proves that these pesticides are causing the death and the damage to the bees. As in the other books I've read from May, the descriptions of the natural world and the power of nature are wonderfully expressed and often beautiful. his latest thriller featuring journalist Jack Parlabane, is exceptionally good – a knotty mystery that’s not just richly, provocatively political but one of the most perceptive excavations of a dysfunctional marriage I can remember reading. He’d admitted that he didn’t often read fiction but that during a period of recovery form an operation he’d been gifted the first in a mini-series of three and had subsequently devoured the whole set.

Book review: Coffin Road by Peter May - Debbish Book review: Coffin Road by Peter May - Debbish

There are secrets hiding in every crook and cranny of this book, and May orchestrates their revelations into a perfect flow of need to know. With every move towards regaining identity and memory, Neal Maclean edges towards reliability, and the story moves towards resolution. Coffin Road follows three perilous journeys towards one shocking truth – and the realisation that ignorance can kill us. You have multiple aspects to the story, which you know are interconnected, yet you’re not quite sure how they interconnect. It is two years since her father committed suicide and now her mother is shacked up with another man.The unhappy couple are driven surgeon Diana Jager and IT guy Peter, who seems to be the tonic she needs. The Blackhouse won the 2013 Barry Award for Best Crime Novel (USA) at a ceremony at Bouchercon, Albany NY. My eyes tend to glaze over when it comes to conspiracy theories and that coupled with detailed information about bees could have sent me running for the hills.

He assumed that someone was him, but he had no idea what Coffin Road meant to him; he was sure he needed to find out though. The tension between McKinty’s competing love of tight, formal puzzles and loose, riffing dialogue is what makes the Duffy novels such a joy.Neal sees bills in his name and various documents, including a map which someone had marked the word Coffin Road, which was on the table, but Neal had no idea what it meant. He does not know the man's identity, who killed him or why, and begins an investigation that seems to have absolutely no clues. According to Goodreads and my own somewhat-dilapidated memory, I’ve never read any books by France-based Scottish-born author Peter May. Coffin Road is best at the beginning, when everything is so mysterious, with the stranger washed ashore without memory.

Uno studio ostacolato, condotto privatamente in gran segreto, i cui risultati rischiano di essere boicottati, perché la loro divulgazione desterebbe non poco scompiglio fra i colossi che speculano nel settore degli insetticidi. He does not know where it will lead him, but filled with dread, fear and uncertainty he knows he must follow it.Well there are two moments in the book that I saw as hopefully special moments when you’re reading, you know, gobsmacking moments. This surprised me as he has three series under his belt, a number of standalone novels and has been involved in writing for television in the UK. He interrogates the essence of his existence or what he thinks he knows of his past trying to make sense of his past and future, all the time worried about what he has done, what he might have done, or what he is capable of.
