N is for Noose

«I love Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone novels . . . you are never disappointed.»

Guardian

N is for Noose is the fourteenth in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series by Sue Grafton.

Sometimes I think about how odd it would be to catch a glimpse of the future, a quick view of events lying in store for us. Some moments we saw would make no sense at all and some, I suspect, would frighten us beyond our endurance . . .

N is for Noose is the fourteenth in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series by Sue Grafton.

Sometimes I think about how odd it would be to catch a glimpse of the future, a quick view of events lying in store for us. Some moments we saw would make no sense at all and some, I suspect, would frighten us beyond our endurance . . .

Early spring in the Sierra Nevada, bringing the usual driving sleet and snow. Private investigator Kinsey Millhone is on her way west when she detours into Nota Lake (pop. 2356) to check out a new client. And encounters a chill she can scarcely believe.

Only six weeks have passed since sheriff’s detective Tom Newquist died of a heart attack. His widow is sure he was keeping secrets from her just before he died – and she hires Kinsey to find out exactly what.

But all Kinsey can uncover is that Newquist led an exemplary life, so what could he possibly have to conceal? And why has the town, to the last threatening redneck, closed ranks on her?

Kinsey’s on the point of giving up. Until she discovers a chilling new clue: a childish drawing of a thick length of rope – fashioned into a hangman’s noose . . .

Medlemmers vurdering

A
Angelin – 22.05.2005

– Denne boken er preget av en utrolig treg start, og det tar nesten halve boken før det endelig begynner å skje noe spennende. Slik sett formidler ihvertfall fortellingen den frustrasjonen Kinsey Millhone føler når hun ikke kommer noen vei mot løsningen på Tom Newquists liv og bekymringer. Siste del av boken tar seg derimot svært opp hva spenningen angår, og omsider kommer boken opp på et leselig og bra krim-nivå. Slutten er derimot såpass overraskende at leseren blir tatt helt på senga, men er dessverre altfor forhastet og kort til å heve standarden totalt sett.
Boken ender derfor som en helt ok krim-fortelling som bare duger til ren underholdning.
