Official Review: Death Has a Thousand Doors

[homelight]

Family headaches abound on this mystery. Australian Jane Burns is a improving alcoholic with a troubled beyond. When she gets a letter inviting her to visit Andorra for the winding-up of her grandfather's multi-million dollar believe, she jumps at the possibility to leave at the back of her troubles and humdrum existence. She expects to live with her half sister, Pearl, a photograph journalist who moved to Andorra to get away an abusive marriage; but on her arrival Pearl is lacking with out starting with the founding of the family trust after the Second World War, and which include economic misdoings, kidnapping and tobacco-smuggling. Jane and Charles try and separate threads so as to lead them to Pearl from the ones which might be certainly the detritus of her day by day existence lifestyles as an investigative journalist.

Death has a Thousand Doors ticks all the containers as some distance as mystery novels move - a heroine with a bothered past, a missing person, romantic undertones among heroine and detective, clues that flummox, creepy those who become okay and regular individuals who emerge as creeps. A mystery novel does now not need to do plenty to maintain the pages turning, human curiosity to understand whodunit is enough. The writing is normal and the plot is regularly manipulated to deal with a romantic scene or try to throw the reader off-song.
The first-class I can say is - it isn't always horrible.
On the bright facet though, because the tale winds through the towns and the encircling mountainside, the panorama pops up on its pages. The characters zip through the towns and streets and deliver an perception of existence in Andorra, satisfactory known for being a tax haven. To its credit, the e-book brings this unknown region underneath the spotlight and for the 300-odd pages I find out the sector inside this speck.

Lovely review, sounds like an action packed tale indeed. That's interesting what you said about the cover art, I never would have thought of that since I buy most of my books online these days and don't pay attention to the covers. Great pointer, I'll keep that in mind from now on.

Thank you for the great review. I am looking forward to reading the descriptions of the tight spaces and darkness, and finding out how those conditions affect those who are trapped.

I like the story of these young friends and I wish to read the book and get to know who survives and who doesn't. Great review.

You summary is so catchy. Seems to be a dark book, literally and metaphorically. I agree with your thoughts on the cover.

Being inside the dark cave, well it is seriously frightening. But the only thing left given the situations, is courage. Though depends on how long is the cave, it did not only break trust but courage too. The lesson, sometimes adventure is worth doing, but most often it's dangerous when not prepared both emotionally and physically. Nice review. Thanks.

I love when a book is so visual and even visceral that the I have to take breaks while reading it. I'm a very visual person, and have quite an imagination, so I think I would feel like an adventurous spelunker if I were to read Death Has a Thousand Doors . Great review. Thank you.
