Historical fiction at its best

This one was a bit on the long side, but the mystery was kept until the very end.

Standard plot structure with a solution that defies deductive processes, but it was a fun story.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, but the crypto text was a bit distracting, and the end feels like the editors truncated it, for
good reason. Plot w as very engaging but too long.

Historia
A car is found crashed on a beach in the Canary Island resort of Fuerteventura. In the trunk is a cardboard box containing the body of an infant - no one knows his name, and there is no trace of a driver. The last thing Fuerteventura needs is a murder. The island already has half-empty bars and windswept beaches, and the local police are under pressure to abandon the investigation. But longtime islander Erhard, who sees more than most people, won't let the investigation drop - and he has nothing to lose.

A very odd book
Revisado: 05-31-17
Is there anything you would change about this book?
This was an odd story. The plot was not very plausible & the ending was predictable. A car floats to shore after falling out of a shipping container & then washes up on the beach. What?

Difficult to follow
Revisado: 03-21-17
This may have been a great book in paper, but the narrator's style of using "he" for Cromwell made it hard to follow.

Historia
The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

A story well hidden.
Revisado: 09-14-16
Underneath the seemingly endless monologue about Rachel's drinking and the problems it causes is a murder mystery, but it takes a very long time coming, and it's hardly worth the effort.

Historia
In war-torn Yugoslavia, a beautiful young filmmaker and photographer - a veritable hero to her people - and a German officer have been brutally murdered. Assigned to the case is military intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt. Already haunted by his wartime actions and the mistakes he's made off the battlefield, he soon finds that his investigation may be more than just a murder, and that the late Yugoslavian heroine may have been much more brilliant - and treacherous - than anyone knew.

Too much soul searching. Ending was not credible.
Revisado: 11-15-15
Is there anything you would change about this book?
This is a good example of a story line that got so wound up in creating an exciting plot, that the author couldn't get out at the end. The ending had no credibility, which is too bad because the idea was a good one. The main character spends way too much time contemplating his inner strife.
What was most disappointing about Luke McCallin’s story?
See the above. The story is written to be the initial story for a series. This one tried to do too much. I won't go back for the rest of the series.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A good mystery. The author did not get so caught up with creating a "who done it" that the ending was impossible to believe.
