McCrery, Nigel Still Waters
New York, New York, U.S.A. Pantheon Books 2008 0307377032 / 9780307377036 First U.S. Edition Hard Cover As New As New
NEW book. Stated First United Stated Edition. Number line: 2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3 1. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 275 pages. From Booklist Warning: this serial-killer story contains extremely creepy scenes of violence, but for those with a high creep-out threshold, or those who can skim past the icky parts, McCrery’s new series debut may prove entertaining, if a bit gimmicky. McCrery (who created the mystery series Silent Witness) introduces a police detective hero (British Deputy Chief Inspector Mark Lapslie of the Essex Police) with a condition that both limits his life and, supposedly, enhances his detective powers. The condition is synesthesia, in which sensory impressions are translated into overwhelming odors and tastes. Lapslie’s investigation of a buried murder victim, unearthed by a car accident, leads to the hunt for someone with a knowledge of toxic garden substances and with a deft hand with garden shears. McCrery juxtaposes police procedure with the story of an old woman who preys on other old women. An uncomfortable but compelling read. --Connie Fletcher Review First-rate entertainment. . . . Creepy and occasionally comical. . . . Still Waters is no garden-variety mystery. From its breathtakingly brutal prologue to its horrifying revelation of responsibility, it will leave you marveling at McCrery's storytelling skills. And how many mysteries can you name that quote Browning, Yeats and Eliot?”-- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Creepy, menacing, and downright frightening. . . . A page turner teeming with tension."--The Baltimore Sun "McCrery's stellar thriller starts with a gruesome bang."--Entertainment Weekly "Chilling. . . . Violet Chambers is the dark side of Miss Marple."--Los Angeles Times Book Review "Highly original. . . . Arsenic and Old Lace meets the Galloping Gourmet in Still Waters, the first in a series of tasty mysteries."--Madison County Herald Every writer needs a hook, and Nigel McCrery provides just that in the prologue of Still Waters. He throws out the line and snags the reader right away. This shocking opening is one tantalizing lead-in.The Post and Courier, Charleston, South Carolina "This exquisitely macabre mystery will keep you firmly planted until the last page is turned."--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
