1 post | 3 read | 2 to read

Spectacular crime debut, for fans of Karin Slaughter and Stephen King Longlisted for the CWA John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger A Financial Times Crime Book of the Year (2015) CANYON COUNTY, HALLOWEEN 1983 Bobbi Lomax was the first to die, the bomb killed the prom queen on her own front lawn. Just moments later one of the nails from the city's second bomb forced its way into the brain of property investor Peter Gudsen, killing him almost instantly. The third bomb didn't quite kill Clark Houseman. Hovering on the brink, the rare books dealer turns out to be Detectives Sinclair and Alvarez's best hope of finding out what linked these unlikely victims, and who wanted them dead and why. But can they find the bomber before he kills again? Set deep in the religious heartlands of America, The Killing of Bobbi Lomax follows this troubled investigation as a narrative of deceit, corruption and forgery emerges, with an unlikely hero at its heart - a rare coins, books and manuscript dealer - who could either be a genius or the devil.

The Killing of Bobbi Lomax | Cal Moriarty

pan

Bobbi Lomax is early twenties and her husband is almost thirty years her senior. When the first bomb goes off Bobbi is killed and from there the police investigation begins.

The plot looked promising and it sounds exciting but it really wasn't.

I'm not sure what this book is trying to be. The pacing is wrong for a thriller, its too slow. And while there is police, it didn't feel like a police procedural.
