監禁

娘を拉致監禁されたテイトが、狂信的な犯人アーロンに辿り着くまでと、
そこからの待ちに待った論議バトル。
ついに来た!とここは盛り上がれた。

序盤のロットワイラーの描写が凶悪で、
ここはゾクゾク出来たんだけど問題は後半。

それは無いよ旦那といったあの人と、
ラストも、容易に予測できる範囲内で完全に尻窄み。
作品の雰囲気やテーマ、展開自体は悪くない為、
若かったのかな…という無念さがある。

独特の雰囲気はいいと思うので、これはこれで。
リンカーン・ライム、キャサリン・ダンスシリーズといった、
捜査モノに慣れてると、色々ともどかしいかな。

With his series of Licoln Rhyme novels I have quickly become a Jeffery Deaver fan. I also really enjoyed The Devil's Teardrop which did not feature the Rhyme character. Speaking In Tongues falls into this latter category. As far as I can tell it is a reissue of a novel that was actually released a few years ago and is being reisssued to capitalize on Deaver's recent surge in popularity. The premise of the book is interesting, unfortunately some of the plot points require such a suspense of reality that it detracts from the enjoyment of the book. The characters lack the dimension that Deaver usually provides and many times seem too cartoonish. Any fan of the suspense genre will not be surprised by any of the action. In other words we have seen this type of thing before and the writing is not engaging enough to make us forget it. If you are a fan of Deaver's work you will probably get some enjoyment out of this book, however I would suggest waiting for the paperback. I got to read and advance copy, but if I had paid over twenty dollars for the hard cover I know I would feel cheatedRead-Quest by Giorgio Kostantinos-instead. Its a must.
