CORNELIA READ discusses and signs
The Crazy School
(Grand Central, $23.99)
|
"Read's mystery debut, A Field of Darkness, was well received by reviewers and nominated for an Edgar Award; only a year later, she has an equally compelling new offering... Read's novel is fast-paced; once the action starts, don't even think about putting it down. The motives behind the murders are complex, and the ultimate heroes and bad guys are a total surprise," said Library Journal. And Kirkus called this second in the Madeline Dare series a "bitterly amusing mystery" and went on to praise: "Madeline's deadpan voice, acid wit and psychological depth are the perfect counterpoint to the novel's positively Gothic plot. In her shadowed complexity and stubborn - but fragile - integrity, Madeline resembles many of the genre's most enduring protagonists. She's a great character, and her creator is a great storyteller. Caustic, gripping and distinctive-intelligent entertainment." | |
