这是一个有点老套的故事: 一个下午,两个孩子在钓鱼途中目睹一场凶杀,开始逃亡。就此,西北小镇居民与来自洛杉矶的退休坏警察展开殊死搏斗。 故事的确老套,不过,巴克斯将这个老套的故事讲述的风生水起,明快亮丽。 首先,巴克斯采用了惊险悬疑小说常用的一招:紧缩的时间。...
评分其实这本书没什么太多好说的,文字尚算流畅,但也称不上太好,故事——与其说这是一本推理小说,不如说它是本西部小说更贴切些。推理探案的部分在这本小说中,只能算是比“聊胜于无”好一点点。但值得称道的是,在几乎没有“凶手是谁”这一悬念辅佐的状况下,作者维持紧张气氛...

A twelve-year-old girl and her younger brother go on the run in the woods of North Idaho, pursued by four men they have just watched commit murder---four men who know exactly who William and Annie are, and who know exactly where their desperate mother is waiting for news of her children's fate. Retired cops from Los Angeles, the killers easily persuade the inexperienced sheriff to let them lead the search for the missing children.
William and Annie's unexpected savior comes in the form of an old-school rancher teetering on the brink of foreclosure. But as one man against four who will stop at nothing to silence their witnesses, Jess Rawlins needs allies, and he knows that one word to the wrong person could seal the fate of the children or their mother. In a town where most of the ranches like his have turned into acres of ranchettes populated by strangers, finding someone to trust won't be easy.
With true-to-life, unforgettable characters and a ticking-clock plot that spans just over forty-eight hours, C.J. Box has created a thriller that delves into issues close to the heart: the ruthless power of greed over broken ideals, the healing power of community where unlikely heroes find themselves at the crossroads of duty and courage, and the truth about what constitutes a family. In a setting whose awesome beauty is threatened by those who want a piece of it, Blue Heaven delivers twists and turns until its last breathtaking page.
