   Dobrý motiv pro vraždu

   • Susan Hill

   3,7(251)Ohodnotit

   V duchu nejlepších tradic anglické detektivní školy. Do malého anglického městečka Laffertonu přijíždí z Londýna mladá policistka Freya Graffhamová, aby tu u Metropolitní policie našla úlevu od zklamání z nevydařeného manželství a z práce. Jedním z jejích prvních případů v novém působišti je pohřešování ošetřovatelky z pečovatelského domu. Její nadřízení ho ovšem nepovažují za natolik významný, aby stálo za to se jím zabývat. Jakmile se však ztratí další žena, muž a dokonce pes, rozeběhne se pátrání na plné obrátky a dosud nenápadná čtvrť na kopci začíná odkrývat svá tajemství. Seržantka Freya se šéfinspektorem Simonem Seraillem jsou pevně rozhodnutí přijít na stopu nevysvětlitelným událostem a nenechat kámen na kameni, dokud nezískají odpovědi.

   S nejčistšími úmysly

   • Susan Hill

   3,9(204)Ohodnotit

   Druhý ze série detektivních románů Susan Hillové odehrávající se v malém anglickém městě Laffertonu s tajuplným šéfinspektorem Simonem Serraillerem jako hlavním hrdinou. Neznámá osoba unese malého chlapce, který čeká před domem rodičů na odvoz do školy. Událost otřese celým městečkem, obzvlášť poté, co se ukáže, že se nejedná o jediný, a pravděpodobně ani o poslední případ únosu dítěte. Začíná tvrdý a nelítostný boj o čas s pachatelem, který je odhodlaný zajít až do krajností. Šéfinspektor Serrailler je kromě pátrání nucen řešit i ryze soukromé problémy, protože se jeho vážně zdravotně postižená sestra ocitá na hranici mezi životem a smrtí. Navíc se stále ještě nevyrovnal s tragickou ztrátou Freyi Graffhamové, zavražděné při honbě za sériovým vrahem v předcházející knize Dobrý motiv pro vraždu. Jak je u detektivních románů Susan Hillové obvyklé, nejedná se o příběh s jednoduchou zápletkou a vyústěním, ale o skutečný román odehrávající se na mnoha úrovních a s dokonale vykreslenými postavami a prostředím.

   From the outside, the cathedral town of Lafferton seems idyllic, but in many ways it just like any other place. It suffers from the same kinds of crime, is subject to the same pressures from a rapidly changing world, has the same hopes and fears as any number of towns up and down the land.When one day DC Simon Serrailler is called in by Lafferton's new Chief Constable, Kieran Bright, he is met by two plainclothes officers. He is asked to take the principal role in a difficult, potentially dangerous undercover operation and must leave town immediately, without telling anyone - not even his girlfriend Rachel, who has only just moved in with him. Meanwhile, Simon's sister Cat is facing difficult choices at work, as Lafferton's hospice closes its bedded units; and at home, as her daughter is presented with a glittering opportunity that they would struggle afford. And all is not well with Simon and Cat's step-mother, Judith, either. To complete his special op, Simon must inhabit the mind of the worst kind of criminal. This takes its toll on Simon and, as the op unfolds, also on the town and some of its most respected citizens.

    In this, the tenth Simon Serrailler crime novel, Simon must engage with his own demons as Lafferton struggles to cope with a series of crimes that threaten the sanctity of hearth and home. On the face of it DCS Simon Serrailler has had time to recuperate after the violent incident that cost him his arm, and nearly his life. He is back in harness at Lafferton CID, but is spending his spare time high up in the cathedral roof, making drawings of some medieval angels which are being restored. Lafferton is apparently going through a quiet patch, so far as crime is concerned, until one night two local men open their front door to a distressing scene. Simon makes a serious error of judgment when handling the incident. The stress of this, combined with the fact that he refused all offers of counselling after the loss of his arm, takes its toll. In her new role as a private GP, Simon's sister Cat's medical and counselling skills are tested by terrible and unexpected events at the homes of two very different Lafferton women. Their unreliable father, Richard, has returned to live nearby, in a luxury apartment for the well-heeled over sixties. It's not long before he's up to his old tricks.
