About book Deja En Paz Al Diablo (2012)

I have been an avid fan of John Verdon since his first book "Think of A Number". Then came "Shut Your Eyes Tight" and after that came "Let the Devil Sleep". As unique is the hero of these books, the problems are too.Dave Gurney is a retired detective who tries to live a peaceful life with his beloved wife Madeleine but every time he thinks it is over, another problem opens its pages.Dave is requested to just look over some file containing the plot of a promising TV series about a series of unsolved roadside shootings. But as soon as the file is opened, so is opened the killer's wrath once again. The more Dave re-examines the case the more questions emerge. The more he is mocked, the more he starts clinging to the case. He just loves challenges. He soon realizes that the killings did not just stopped suddenly, it was just that the killer was too clever to be found ever.The more he questions, the more the plot thickens and somehow he manages make himself, his family and loved ones the target of the hidden killer.This book, just like a true Dave Gurney book's style takes an untouchable pace just when the ground is set. It really grips the readers and the characters also make quite an impression. Dave, his wife Madelenie, his son Kyle - each character has a more and less aura which familiarises us to them and somehow makes them heartfelt. Although the finishing was a little bit fast, the ride and thrill are impeccable. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Mystery, Crime, Thriller, Detective books. With a very exhausted mind, I will now eagerly wait for "Peter Pan Must Die". These books hit SO VERY CLOSE to the mark and yet I am always left feeling that something is missing, even with the kitchen sink approach that Verdon employs. I have enjoyed the puzzle-making aspects of the series, but the solving always seems too pat, too simple and easily explained though completely unforeseen. Auxiliary characters are caricatures of the way the reader is supposed to feel about them, and the books seem crafted around retired detective Gurney and his prey, with little regard to the mystery that requires their interaction.I find myself frustrated with the length and depth of detail of these books, and at the same time hoping that the author will, with the newest installment in the series, find purchase with the promise of the genius he sometimes flashes.
