Representaion To Books Delusion

A woman's world is turned upside down when new evidence frees a man she put in prison with her testimony years ago in this latest ingenious thriller from the author.

Twenty years ago Nell Jarreau witnessed the murder of her boyfriend. Her testimony put a man behind bars—and led her to her husband, Clay, the gentle detective who solved the case. They've been happy ever since—and have raised a daughter together—but then one phone call changes everything.

New evidence has exonerated Alvin DuPree, aka Pirate—the man Nell helped to convict—and now he's a free man. Nell is consumed by feelings of guilt, and for the first time in their marriage, Clay is no help. The case is closed for him, this new turn of events a mistake, nothing more, and Nell's attempts to talk to him about the situation are met with anger. And to make matters worse, the whole ordeal is beginning to wear on her relationship with her daughter.

Nell is determined to find the answers to her questions, though. Is DuPree, now a much-changed man, really innocent? Could Nell have been wrong all those years ago? Does her husband—or her daughter—know something about the case Nell doesn't? But secrets buried for twenty years tend to grow roots, to burrow deep; and they are not unearthed easily. Every answer produces more questions, and Nell's search eventually leads her to the one person she hasn't approached: the freed man himself. As the pieces fall into place, Nell realizes that the truth—and very real danger—could be much closer than she ever imagined.

Column Epithetical Books Delusion

I listened to the audio version of this novel and was underwhelmed. The main character, Nell, didn't seem strong enough to carry the weight of the story. I found her neither likeable or unlikeable. You might say that I didn't care if she lived or died. A secondary character, Pirate, didn't show what he was capable of until the last chapter, which came as a surpise to me. Lastly, the crime--something about the core of engineers and a bridge--didn't seem severe enough to warrant deaths.

I too often find the same problem with most crime novels. I enjoy the character development in the beginning, as the plot begins to unfold, slowly. But, about half way through I pretty much know that Professor Plum did it, in the library, with the candlestick. And let me be clear here, I can be kind of ditsy when it comes to figuring it all out..which means watching cheesy crime drama shows and cliche suspense thriller movies are still entertaining to me. I guess I just want a little more

I really wish I could say I liked this book a lot more but I can't.First this story has the exact same plot as abrahams book, Bullet Point. The endings are the exact same. The only difference was he tweeked the characters so the story's would seem a lot more different. That just bugs me. GrrrSecond: it was kinda obvious who did it or who was involved right at the beginning (Spoiler: it basically gives some of it away on the description of the book lol) It's disappointing because I really like

After 20 years in prision Alvin DuPree was freed after being wrongly accused of murdering Nell Jarreau's boyfriend on the strength of Nell's testimony. Nell is determined to find out why when something was so crystal clear she made an error in identifying the killer. Good story but the most interesting part was Dupree's time in prison reading the book of Job in the Bible. While he identified with Job his interpretation probably was no theologically correct which in the end may have caused his

20 years ago Nell witnessed the murder of her boyfriend---her testimony led to the conviction/imprisonment of Alvin DuPree. A recently-discovered videotape now proves that DuPree was elsewhere at the time of the murder. As Nell tries to determine how she could have made such a mistake, she turns to her husband of 18 years for help (he was the lead detective from the case at the time)---but his increasingly odd behavior has her wondering if he knew of DuPree's innocence all along . . . .

Overall an entertaining Abrahams yarn, but not his best. What the novel lacks, I think, is a competent protagonist. The central character, Nell, wants to figure out what happened 20 years ago when her fiance was stabbed (and when she identified the wrong man as the killer) but Nell is ... naive and obtuse. I think her confusion and ineptitude are realistically drawn, but it makes narrative progress, especially in the final pages, haphazard. The only character who is intelligently, doggedly

4 Stars. I wasn't sure about this one, but it was surprisingly enjoyable. A young woman, Neil, and her boyfriend, Johnny, who is soon to be her husband, are out for an evening walk. He gets attacked and murdered. The police investigate; she identifies who she saw and a man is sent to prison for the crime. Neil goes on to marry the police detective who handled the case. But years later a video tape accidentally emerges which puts Alvin Dupree, the convicted murderer, kilometres away at the key
