Mockingbird Songs
Prison changes a man. Sometimes in ways you can see. Usually in ways you can't.
The only reason Henry Quinn survived three years inside was because of Evan Riggs, a one-time country singer, one-time killer, now serving a life sentence. No parole. On the day he gets out, Henry promises Evan he will find his daughter, the daughter he never met, and deliver a letter.
A free man, Henry heads to the small Texan town where Evan grew up and where his brother Carson now resides as sheriff. There's no sign of the girl and her uncle claims to know nothing of her whereabouts. But Henry isn't about to give up. He made a promise and, no matter what, he's going to find Evan's daughter.
As Carson's behaviour towards him becomes ever more threatening, Henry realises that there are dark secrets buried at the heart of this quiet town. What terrible thing drove the brothers apart and what happened to the missing girl?
Fantastisch boek! Je kunt mijn recensie lezen op http://deboekenfabriek.blogspot.nl/20...
Na een paar mindere Ellory's gelezen te hebben, is deze weer van het oude niveau. Ellory is sowieso een auteur die je moet leren kennen.
Promising start, frustrating middle section (very slow development,100+ pages), mediocre ending.

A thrilling read from beginning to end. One story takes place during seven days in 1972. It alternates with the events leading up to this week starting in the 1920's when the parents of Evan and Carson meet, marry and start a family. Often in a book that alternates chapter to chapter from one story to another there is a preference to one of two story lines. Not so for me in this book. Both lines wanted me to come back to it. Which made me read an entire day, wanting to know more. Makes me wonder
