Tina Boyd'un ana karakter olduğu bir kitap okuyabilecek miyim acaba I have been trying to read all the author's books and this is the twenty second one I have read.
While this is badged as Tina Boydthis is really a Mike Bolt book though Tina does play a role, This is more straightforward than some of the author's other books as the main story is about a kidnapped teenager and Bolt and his colleagues from the Serious Organised Crime Agency are trying to find her.
The plot did not quite work for me and there were some clumsy attempts at misdirection by the author, Not a bad read but the author has written much better and more exciting books, . Quick pace, action packed. Enjoyed this story very much, Enjoyed this one much more than Crime Trade, Relentless was when Kernick hit top form, Not sure we can classify this one as Tina Boydas she is a peripheral figure throughout but I am glad we could see Mike Bolt back in action cant quite remember which one he popped up beforehand.
This was looking like a solidstar review for most of the story while I enjoyed Mike's character and the turmoil he was enduring I just couldnt get to grips with the story and the character of Andrea Devern, it all just seemed to easy and predictable as to where it was going
Thankfully there was some nice twists to catch my attention and surprise me a bit.
It
wouldn't detract me from reading TargetTina Boyd to keep up the series, My first Simon Kernick book and I loved it! Slightly saddened to learn it wasnt the first in a set despite thinking it wasnti dont like starting mid sets.
However having said that its stands alone just fine and was a page turner, My only disgruntlement was that at about pageI discovered I was missingodd pages and as Id brought the book many years back a habit of buying faster than I am read couldnt go and change it although after some searching discovered I wasnt the only one so assuming it must be a printing error which cost me anotheras I had to purchase the kindle version in order to finish! Aside from all that its a great read, I like his style and pace of writing and look forwards to reading more.
The story tells of a woman who's daughter is kidnapped and a ransom demanded, She tries to deal with it herself, but it soon becomes apparent that the kidnappers aren't playing by the rules and the police become involved.
A little slow to start, but good once it got going, 'We've got your daughter, '
It's evening, you're back late from work and the house is in darkness,
You step inside, and the phone rings, You answer it and your world turns upside down,
Your fourteenyearold daughter's been taken, and her kidnappers demand half a million pounds in cash, They give youhours to raise the money, and warn you that if you call the police, she'll die,
Trying desperately to remain calm, you realise that your husband the man you married only two years previously is also missing,
But he can't be involved in your daughter's abduction, Or can he
As your nightmare begins, you can be certain of only two things: that you will do anything to get your daughter back alive and that time is running out.
. . A real rollor coster ride of a read
I am on a Simon Kernick marathon reading spread as I read most of his books back in earlys.
As ever his books get better each time and become additive as the writing style is so straight to the point and holds you from the word go.
I am now on his next book, Keep up your amazing work, Best wishes Sean Another good book by Simon Kernick, focusing on a kidnapping of a young girl, Could her stepfather be involved Why has she been kidnapped Should the mother go to the police This was fast paced, with plenty of action and interesting characterisation, this is the third book in the Tina Boyd Series, and am enjoying the books that are all very different.
I do recommend Simon Kernick, I am rather puzzled that this is the Tina Boyd Series, as she has not been the main character in the three books so far.
İçinde Tina Boyd olmayan Tina Boyd romanı
Bir ucuz polisiye romandan bekleyebileceğiniz herşeyi sunan, karakterleri yeterince doyurucu olmayan, sizi şaşırtmayan, mantık hatalarıyla dolu ama bir şekilde kızamadığınız bir romandı.
Aksiyon notu yüksek, onu söyleyebilirim, Hele maç çıkışına denk getirilen kaçış anı çok klişe olsa da heyecanlıydı,
Benim için Simon Kernick'in ilk, Tina Boyd'un da, romanıymış ancak Tina sahneye, bölümde geldi. Ana karakter olan Bolt ile arada bir konuştu, Son bölümde de göründü gitti, Ben bu seri nasıl Tina Boyd serisi oldu anlamadım,
Ve tahmin edebileceğiniz gibi her polisiye romanda olduğu gibi berbat bir çeviri, daha berbat bir baskı, Yani tamam amiral geminiz değil belki polisiyeler ama biraz da özenseniz keşke, İki kere kopyalanan bölümler mi dersiniz, açıklama için metnin içine "" koyup hiçbiri için aşağıya açıklama yazmamayı mı dersiniz, ne ararsanız var.
Olimpos Yayınları'na kızamıyorum bile, Bugünün belki en iyi yayınevlerinden DEX de polisiye bassın aynı özensizlik olur,
Şimdi Andrea bu kitabı okuduğum için Emma'nın babası sensin diyecek asıl ondan korkuyorum,
Herkese keyifli okumalar! It gave me bone chills, even from the start you'll get to know how great this book can be because of all the characters and expressions he added are just to be great, An awesome crime thriller i would recommend for those who are looking for a thriller and fantasy although it's not much of a fantasy type of genre, but i got a feeling that it could go that way as well, a great book to be read.
Zaman kaybı. Polisiye kurgusunda biraz zeka içeren bir şeyler okumak istiyorum okuyucu olarak, Sistematik olmayan, anlamsız tesadüflere dayanan polisiye kurgular bir de bu kitapta olduğu gibi iyi işlenmemiş karakterlerle birleşince faciaya dönüşüyor.
Hadi bitsin diye kendimi itekleyerek okudum, Viiiiiel zu lang! Die Ermittlungen, das Gerede, . . viele Kapitel hätte man kürzen oder ganz weg lassen können,
Das Ende war auch eher ernüchternd, Hat mich leider nicht so gepackt, Ab Seitenur noch überflogen, . . schade Another good read from this writer, enjoyed very much. I am slowly working my way through Simon Kernick's books ever since picking up the book Relentless, Now I have to point out that after reading Relentless which is aout ofbook, the expectation was high, I also had the misfortune of not reading the books in order of publication which I dislike doing, even if they are stand alone novels.
In this book we meet Mike Bolt, a member of the SOCA, I get the impression that he may have appeared in previous books but you still get an overall history of him so this book can be read on its own.
Mike is dragged into the investigation but has no idea that Andrea Devern is the lady in trouble, This is a major part of the storyline which adds to the tension of the story itself,
Andrea Devern is a woman in distress and as usual Simon Kernick manages to translate the fear onto paper, You can almost imagine yourself standing right next to this woman whose daughter's life is being threatened, The first few chapters we are thrown in at the deep end with Andrea and see her making split second decision in order to try and save her daughter.
There is also an underlying element of suspicion with the woman,
As usual the pace is frighteningly fast and before you know it you are halfway through the book, One of the things I love about Kernick is that when you start reading his books you feel like you are being physically dragged in and you are powerless to stop reading.
There are many twists and turns in this book and the suspense level is cranked high, We get to read about Andrea chasing her daughter, Mike chasing the case and surprisingly we also see a glimmer of Andrea's daughter Emma and the nightmare she has been dragged in to.
We also see Tina Boyd make an appearance on the case, and she can be seen in other Kernick books, I love Simon Kernick's style of writing and don't think for that he can be faulted, This isn't my favourite book of his as Relentless is just the best, but this is definitely an easy to read, high octane thriller with lots of plot twists.
Overall another corker of a read from Kernick, sit down and hold on tight for the ride, Audiobook Not as capturing as relentless but wasn't as bad as the Crime Trade, Truth be told, I only read this because the print was large and I ran out of other books to read on the dig.
I think one of the Oxford guys brought it But as far as crime dramas go this one was neither intriguing nor nailbiting, with a cast about as wellrounded as a sheet of paper.
The author also seemed to be unable to pick a main character we were supposed to care about, I finished Deadline inhours, and boy I wish it had been over sooner, If you like a story that eases you slowly into the action, gently picking up the pace as it goes along then this book isn't it.
The action in Deadline starts in the first chapter and keeps going throughout the book,
A thrilling story that I enjoyed and would certainly recommend, My only real niggle is the overuse of the phrase "Do you understand" which seems to pop up far too often and usually after something completely straightforward has been explained or a simple instruction given.
Paul Thornley does an excellent job as the narrator, Fast paced which starts with a promising story, A teenager Emma is kidnapped, her mum Andrea is distraught, the stepfather is missing, Police is active. It goes on pretty good, It does have some loopholes, Andrea has some business the author is elusive about, which sets up the mystery surrounding the mum,
It is the lukewarm stereotypical end that does not do justice to the buildup, It is tacky. Reading the end was like seeing a deflated balloon, knowing that it has had its days of glory, An excellent novel from one of my favourite writers,
He writes such good original stories that have strong characters and believable plots, When I saw the 'Dan Brown' name in large letters on the front of this book I almost put it back on the shelf.
Fortunately I saw that it was actually written by Simon Kernick and was being given free, by W H Smith for anyone preordering the new Dan Brown book.
I am no fan of said Dan Brown, having struggled to read two of his books but how glad I am to have found this exciting thriller by Simon Kernick.
Not giving away any spoilers, this is a fast paced page turner about a woman's race against time and unlucky circumstances, to get her daughter back alive from ruthless kidnappers.
Simon Kernick is on my list of authors to read more of, So after a fairly heavy going book, I needed something a bit lighter that didn't require quite so much brain power to read and this fit the bill perfectly.
It's my first by this author and I seemed to have picked up a book that third in a series, having not read the other two I can't work out why this is called the Tina Boyd series, she's hardly in this book, maybe she appears in the first two more.
The storyline is not new, but certainly an interesting one, It sums up the lengths a parent will go to to get their child back, although I didn't really like the mum in this.
