Laddar... In the Last Analysis (1964)av Amanda Cross, Carolyn G. Heilbrun
![]() Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Clearly written by an academic. A fun mystery. Not a lot of real evidence, primarily intuition. I enjoyed it. Not a quick read. The language slowed me down some. Some references were dated. ( ![]() "Amanda Cross" this is one of the best series i have ever read and i enjoy every bit of her details. i will also make this book a companion because i learn a lot from it It has been more than a decade since the last time I read the series of which this is the first, and the reread has been an odd and interesting experience. Many of the details and attitudes are dated but dated in a way that made me think at least as much as they irked me. I enjoy being bombarded by the constant literary allusions and I enjoy the baroque prose. I will keep this book as long as the poor paper holds together and hope that there is an ebook version available by the time it disintegrates. "Amanda Cross" writes prose in which she and her characters place a premium on sounding clever. Sometimes they do sound clever, but so what? Cross is an unbearable snob: for her, any person not a member of the intelligentsia is an idiot. She is unable to hide her bigotry and ignorance, and unaware of those things in herself. Dans cette première enquête policière où apparaît Kate Fansler, il y a quelques longueurs et on ne trouve pas la légèreté qui apparaît dans les romans suivants, à commencer par "L'Affaire James Joyce". L'ensemble se laisse lire sans déplaisir cependant et la résolution de l'énigme révèle son lot de surprises. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
When beautiful Janet Harrison asks English professor Kate Fansler to recommend a Manhattan psychoanalyst, Kate immediately sends the girl to her dear friend and former lover, Dr. Emanuel Bauer. Seven weeks later, the girl is stabbed to death on Emanuel's couch--with incriminating fingerprints on the murder weapon. To Kate, the idea of her brilliant friend killing anyone is preposterous, but proving it seems an impossible task. For Janet had no friends, no lover, no family. Why, then, should someone feel compelled to kill her? Kate's analytic techniques leave no stone unturned--not even the one under which a venomous killer once again lies coiled and ready to strike. . . . Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
