His prolific output is partially owed to the relationship he has with his many co-authors who share an authorship credit on the cover. A young mother is recuperating in a top San Francisco hospital when suddenly she's gasping for breath. The call button fails to bring help in time.
How and why did this happen? With help from the newest member of the Women's Murder Club, Yuki Castellano, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer discovers that this is not the hospital's first suspicious case. Other patients have taken unexpected and devastating turns for the worse just as they're planning to go home. When two dead bodies are found inside a wrecked car on the Golden Gate Bridge, Detective Lindsay Boxer doubts that it will be anything as simple as a traffic accident. The scene is more gruesome than anything she has seen before.
Sightings of her ex-colleague-turned-ruthless-killer Mackie Morales have been reported. In a late-night showdown, Detective Lindsay Boxer has to make an instantaneous decision: Now everything she's worked for her entire life hinges on the decision of twelve jurors.
To escape the media circus, Lindsay retreats to the picturesque town of Half Moon Bay. Lindsay Boxer is pregnant at last! But her work doesn't slow for a second. When millionaire Chaz Smith is mercilessly gunned down, she discovers that the murder weapon is linked to the deaths of four of San Francisco's most untouchable criminals. And it was taken from her own department's evidence locker.

Since former US Marine Jack Morgan started Private, it has become the world's most effective investigation firm - sought out by the famous and the powerful to discreetly handle their most intimate problems. Private's investigators are the smartest, the fastest, and the most technologically advanced in the world - and they always uncover the truth. When his former lover is found murdered in Jack's bed, he is instantly the number one suspect. Het verhaal kent veel mooie en natuurlijk klinkende dialogen.
Het plot is knap in elkaar gezet en kent de nodige verrassingen. Het feit dat alleen Fielder en McMarrow zonder verdere professionele ondersteuning aan deze gecompliceerde zaak werken is ongeloofwaardig. Al ruim voor het einde weet je wie de dader is maar dat ik vond eigenlijk geen bezwaar. Je weet wel wie het is maar je weet nog niets van het motief. De gruwelijke feiten die tot de moorden hebben geleid, worden tijdens de spannende ontknoping beetje bij beetje in het verhaal ingeweven. Aan het einde is het verhaal compleet en zonder losse eindjes. De toeschouwer is een goede en soms aangrijpende misdaadroman, mooi geschreven en een aanwinst voor wie van de boeken van Charlotte Link houdt.
Haar vorige boek Het andere kind vond ik beter. Charlotte Link koos voor dat boek een aansprekender onderwerp en zij schreef met meer passie. Dat doet echter niets af aan het feit dat De toeschouwer van begin tot einde boeit en overtuigt.
May 08, Kerstin Stutzke rated it really liked it. Den ganzen Tag treibt er sich in der Gegend rum, geht keiner geregelten Arbeit nach, beobachtet jedoch die Leute. Nicht irgendwelche Leute, nur solche, die sein Interesse wecken. Er ist kein Voyeur im eigentlichen Sinne eines Spanners, denn dieser Part interessiert ihn nicht, ihn interessiert das Leben der Menschen, die er beobachtet. Meist rasseln jedoch Mutter und Tochter aneinander.
Zwei Frauen sind ihm schon zum Opfer gefallen - weitere werden folgen, soviel ist klar, es sei denn, ihm kann endlich das Handwerk gelegt werden. Doch Familie Ward hat bald ein Todesopfer zu beklagen Der Plot wurde realistisch und abwechslungsreich erarbeitet. Die Figuren wurden authentisch erarbeitet, wobei ich hier sehr zwiegespalten bin.
May 25, Hinkenpinken's Welt added it. Beide hatten Angst und beide wurden erst Tage nach ihrem Tod gefunden.
Welche Verbindung gab es zwischen den Opfern? Hat Samson Segal etwas damit zu tun? Er beobachtet die Men Darum geht es: Er beobachtet die Menschen in seiner Umgebung. Allen voran jedoch Gillian Ward und ihre Familie. Gar nicht mal so einfach, eine kurze Zusammenfassung von diesem Buch zu schreiben. Sie schreibt aus Sicht der Opfer. Sie schreibt aus Sicht der Ermittler. Sie schreibt aus Sicht des Beobachters. Dies war mein erster Link, aber ganz bestimmt nicht mein letzter. Den Schreibstil habe ich als angenehm empfunden und die Story war spannend.
The 6th Target (Womens Murder Club 6)
Ho conosciuto quest'autrice per i romanzi a sfondo storico, ma ultimamente la sto scoprendo anche in un nuovo filone, quello del thriller psicologico in cui si dimostra magistrale. Due omicidi seriali e poi un terzo che sembra non avere niente a che fare con gli altri due. La Link si diverte a farci seguire varie piste, salvo poi dimostrarci che non portano a niente, quindi la suspense sempre alta e il ritmo della narrazione molto serrato tengono il lettore incollato alle pagine, nel tentativo: La Link si diverte a farci seguire varie piste, salvo poi dimostrarci che non portano a niente, quindi la suspense sempre alta e il ritmo della narrazione molto serrato tengono il lettore incollato alle pagine, nel tentativo di individuare il colpevole.
Anche in questo romanzo troviamo il tema della solitudine, dell'isolamento e dell'emarginazione con cui alcuni personaggi devono fare i conti nelle loro esistenze in cui manca un punto di riferimento, un po' di conforto o aiuto per affrontare le problematiche di ogni giorno.
Die Spur der Schuld - Private L.A.
Un finale letteralmente al cardiopalma, da leggere in un fiato per arrivare all'epilogo Jan 16, Lizzy Chandler rated it it was ok Shelves: And it never really grabbed me. There are dead women. There are women in danger. There are strangely fixated men and men with shady pasts. The novel examines the question of envy in a way that I should have found more interesting.
I couldn't find the cover for the English edition. This review first appeared on my blog. Frammentario, almeno all'inizio, con tante fotografie di storie presentate al lettore senza apparente collegamento tra di loro. Scene di azione, alcune improbabili nel contesto, con una inevitabile venatura rosa a fare da sottofondo al tutto.
See a Problem?
Poteva essere anche una lettura interessante, se Frammentario, almeno all'inizio, con tante fotografie di storie presentate al lettore senza apparente collegamento tra di loro. Traduzione molto approssimativa, dialoghi che non scorrono e che suonano assurdi se si considera il modo di parlare moderno. Una lettura faticosa, alla fine, con la storia che non riusciva prendere come serviva per sbattere i difetti sotto la superficie. May 16, Janine Zachariae rated it liked it. Bereits im April habe ich damit begonnen, doch wieder zur Seite gelegt.
Aber bevor es zu einer Sub-Leiche mutiert, habe ich es dann doch genommen und durchgelesen. Was soll ich sagen? Die Protagonistin, Gillian Ward, ist mir von der ersten Sekunde an unsympathisch. Ihre Art finde ich schrecklich. Nicht, weil sie fremd geht, sondern diesem ganzen Drama drumherum.
Die Personen, die ermordet werden, scheinen keinen gemeinsamen Faden zu haben. Doch i Bereits im April habe ich damit begonnen, doch wieder zur Seite gelegt. Doch ist die Vorgehensweise identisch. Manches hat mir gut gefallen, vieles aber nicht.

Ich werde wohl nie ein Krimi-Fan werden. Aber alles in allem ist es doch Unterhaltsam. Oct 05, Juliane rated it it was amazing Shelves: Schon lang war ich nicht mehr so an ein Buch gefesselt! Ich kann gar nicht glauben, dass ich vorher noch nie ein Roman von Charlotte Link gelesen habe. Das Ende hat mir auch gut gefallen, auch wenn ich es schon vorher ein bisschen vermutet hatte.
Aber sehr gute Hintergrundgeschichte! Ich hoffe, dass dieser Roman noch verfilmt wird! This book has gotten great reviews.
