Fang’s Out, David Freed’s second novel featuring intrepid flying instructor turned reluctant investigator Cordell Logan, is just as well-written and engrossing as Flat Spin. The mystery is quite intriguing, the dialogue is fresh and laced with humor, and the cast of characters is colorful and engaging. Please click HERE to read my review in its entirety. “The dead man wanted lobster thermidor and a good bottle of pinot noir.” What a terrific first line! Having thoroughly enjoyed the first book, Flat Spin, in this series, I didn't wait long before jumping into the second. And I did enjoy it, just not as much as the first. Cordell Logan is still imperfectly practicing Buddhism, is still trying to reconcile with his ex-wife and sabotaging his own efforts, and despite a not-very-successful profession of flight instructor, once again gets called into solving a murder. This is not an especially violent story, actually pretty mild. The worst part to me was reading about live pigs being shot so humans could practice CPR on them. I hated that! And I wasn't especially fond of a desired vacation destination being Sea World. The dead man in the first sentence doesn't really play a big role in the story. I didn't really care who murdered whom; there just wasn't that feeling of suspense, gotta know now. I did enjoy the characters, especially an old pilot who couldn't fly anymore, who reminded me of my dad. I liked the stories of flying. I love the feisty 91-year old landlady whose name I cannot spell (I listened to this book). Unfortunately, she was absent for most of this story. This book was enjoyable and I will read the next in the series, but it didn't quite live up to the first book in the series. 3.5 out of 5 stars. Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner. I received this book through the Early Reviewers. It is the second in the series. Even though I had not read the first one, it did not affect reading this one. The book was an easy read and had me guessing, right up to the end. I enjoyed it, and will watch for this author and series in the future. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Mystery.
HTML: Moments before he is executed, the killer of famed Vietnam War hero - pilot Hub Walker's daughter makes a startling allegation: the real murderer is Walker's close friend, a prominent U.S. defense contractor. Walker wants to hire somebody willing to spend a few days hunting up information that will refute the convicted killer's groundless but widely reported claims, and help restore his friend's good name. That somebody, as fate would have it, is sardonic civilian flight instructor, would-be Buddhist and retired military assassin Cordell Logan. thus begins one of the year's most suspenseful mystery-thrillers. A Medal of Honor recipient married to a former Playmate of the Year, Walker resides in the swanky San Diego enclave of La Jolla, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Logan is convinced that working for Walker will be little more than a paid vacation - a chance to rub shoulders with a living legend while rekindling Logan's relationship with his own enticing ex-wife, Savannah. But after flying to San Diego in his beloved aging Cessna, the Ruptured Duck, Logan is quickly drawn into a vexing and deadly jigsaw puzzle. The deeper he digs, the murkier the truth appears, and the more in danger he finds himself. Who really killed the war hero's daugther and why? Somebody in "America's Finest City," wants to stop Logan from asking questions, and will stop at nothing to silence him. .Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
