Synopsis

From its explosive opening to its eerie climax, The Homecoming is a page-turning, labyrinthine thrill ride that returns to Niceville . . . where evil lives far longer than men do. When two plane crashes set off a spellbinding chain reaction of murder, inadvertent kidnapping, corporate corruption, and financial double-dealing, it' s not enough that Niceville detective Nick Kavanaugh (ex- Special Forces) has to investigate. He and his wife, family lawyer Kate, have also just taken in brutally orphaned Rainey Teague. Something bothers Nick about Rainey-- and it isn' t just that the woman in charge of attendance at Rainey' s prep school has disappeared. In fact, people have long been disappearing from seemingly placid Niceville, including, most disturbingly, Kate' s father. Using his files, Kate and Nick start to unearth Niceville' s blood stained history, but something (or is it Nothing?) stands in their way. Once again, Carsten Stroud gives us unforgettable characters, including Coker, the steely, amoral police sniper, and Harvill Endicott, an urbanely manipulative psychopath, not to mention Warren Smoles, the most conniving lawyer you will ever meet. Stroud' s unique storytelling gifts bring us into a world where protecting your family from the unknown becomes almost impossible but essential for survival. Anything is possible in The Homecoming.

Carsten Stroud's "The Homecoming" (Knopf 2013) is the second in the "Niceville" trilogy. It picks up where "Niceville" left off, with our hero Nick Kavanaugh, called in when a flock of crows brings down a private jet of Chinese nationals by mucking up their engines. Nick is already knee deep in a do......more

Goodreads review by Tor on October 12, 2018

Continuación directa del anterior. Mismo estilo que el primero aunque el final queda un poco más en el aire. Mezcla de thriller policial por un lado e historia sobrenatural por el otro. Como pasó en el origen de esta historia me gusta por los personajes estereotipados – muchísimos son una mezcla de l......more

Goodreads review by Nicole D. on July 13, 2013

Since this is the 2nd book in a trilogy, the first thing you should wonder is "Do I need to have read this first book?" - You don't, necessarily, but I would recommend it. If you read Niceville and are wondering if you need to re-read it, you don't. The author does a good job of including enough det......more
