Meanwhile, Bodie Morgan, a troubled man with a history of stalking young women has just been released from a psychiatric facility, and his treating psychiatrist is quite sure the story he has told her about his family history is false. Morality Play, shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1995, is a murder mystery set in 14th-century England. When he's not writing feverishly in a cafe, you can find him with his toes in the sand, soaking up the sun at the beach. The adventure in general is very good and keeps you engaged in the story - especially when we are introduced to the supernatural elements of the book.

Not only that, she’s still dealing with the death of her son from years before when he was gunned down in the street while being robbed. And how did they convince everyone else to go along with something that is, to put it very kindly, clearly and objectively crazy? She is now working in a different precinct - one that has a team of detectives who are a mix of good and bad. Both the police and suspect sides of this procedural are well drawn and the variety of suspects kept me guessing throughout. I was disappointed with both the writing and the narration, and I could only just cobble together enough points to rate this book 1.There, relying on his rich sister Audrey's beneficence, Simon obsessively digs a secret system of tunnels from which to spy on others. The suspenseful plot combines elements of Thomas Tryon’s classic Harvest Home, Netflix’s Squid Game, and the social commentary of Jordan Peele’s film oeuvre and mixes these with a revelatory pacing reminiscent of Spielberg’s Jaws. Initially assigned to a loud-mouthed, misogynistic partner named Lonergan, Foster, a proud, independent Black woman feels like she's being tested.

Não foi perfeito, mas eu também não consigo parar de pensar nele e na ambientação criada na minha cabeça. I don't remember a lot of details about this book, except that one of the main characters, in true eccentric British fashion, has constructed a vast underground maze at the estate where he lives, which he uses to spy on the other characters, leading to most of the plot complications. While Unsworth's style here is ornate at times, particularly in his descriptions of nature and the estate grounds, it is also efficient and tightly controlled. By the time Harri and the team have checked out CCTV and trace evidence, they know they are dealing with a very clever killer. and all they have to do to win is scatter and stay hidden from dawn to dusk within the crumbling, overgrown amusement park until one person remains.A few days ago, while reading a review by a non-Australian of a book written by an Australian author, I learned a word that was new to me: "prosody": the patterns of stress and intonation in a language, including functions such as choice of pitch, stress, and rhythm.
