Synopsis

Twenty years ago, John Costello and his girlfriend, Nadia, became victims of the deranged Hammer of God, a serial killer who went after young courting couples in an attempt to save their souls. Nadia was killed by the first blow of the hammer. John survived but was physically and psychologically scarred to an extent that few people could comprehend. He withdrew from society and hid in his apartment and emerges now only to work as a crime researcher for a major newspaper.Damaged he may be, but no one in New Jersey knows more about serial killers than John Costello. So when a new spate of murders starts, all seemingly random and unrelated, John is the only one who can discern the complex pattern that lies behind them. But could this dark knowledge be about to threaten his life?

"R.J. Ellory - Een mooie dag om te sterven" Moest ik kunnen, ik geef dit boek 10*. Een heel dik boek, leest enorm aangenaam en grijpt aan. Elke vrije minuut las ik verder, wat ook makkelijk was aangezien het telkens korte hoofdstukken zijn. Ik heb gevloekt, was verbaasd, heb me laten verrassen, heb n......more

Ik vind het lastig een duidelijke sterrenwaardering te geven voor dit, best wel dikke, boek. Sommige stukken vond ik echt heel goed. Het begin waarin vanuit John wordt geschreven was er goed. Ook de latere stukken (m.n. de dialogen tussen Irving/Karen/John) waren goed. De stukken die ik minder vond......more
