Muva nje umfundi ungikhombe lo mbhali njengomunye wezintandokazi zakhe ezivela encwadini ubulili obumnyama. Ngakho ngasondela emisebenzini yakhe ngokusebenzisa abafundi abathembekile abondla le bhulogi.
Scottish futhi kusukela udoti efanayo U-Ian Rankin, UVal McDermid iyavuma ngaphakathi kwalokho kulandisa kwe-purist ephuza emaphoyiseni futhi iphuma ochungechungeni oluqiniswe kuma-protagonists enuzi omphenyi osemsebenzini. Bese kuba nombhalo womlingisi ngamunye walaba.
Intatheli ezenza umphenyi uLindsay Gordon, ongatholakali ngenxa yokudumazeka futhi ethanda ingozi…; umcwaningi uKate Brannigan okwazi ukubhekana nanoma yiliphi icala elivela ohlangothini olumnyama lwaseManchester olutholwe kulo mcimbi…; noma i-tandem yakamuva ka-Tony Hill kanye no-Carol Jordan, phakathi kwabo efingqa zonke izinhlobo zezici ezihambisanayo zophenyo.
Kuningi ongakuthola futhi ongajabulela ngakho uhlobo olumnyama ngokunambitha kwangemuva kwamaphoyisa amsulwa. Omunye walabo babhali abadayiswa kakhulu osahlala eyikhabethe elikahle kunoma yisiphi isitolo sezincwadi. Kulokhu sizogxila ngodaba olufundwe ngumthombo wami ngokugcwele, udaba lukaTony Hill noCarol Jordan.
Amanoveli aphezulu anconyiwe ka-Val McDermid
Ngaphansi kwesandla esinegazi
Izwe lebhola lihlala liyisilungiselelo esihle sanoma yisiphi isakhiwo. (Mina ngokwami ngingakufakazela lokhu ngenoveli yami yodayi abamnyama «I-Real Zaragoza 2.0«) Ngakho konke ukunaka okugxile endaweni yonke yebhola lezinyawo, ukuhlolisisa itulo elikwazi ukwembula usizi, ukuphazamisa izindawo ezivamile ezigcwele amazwi afana nebhola lezinyawo, kuhlale kuwumsebenzi othokozisayo ku-voyeurism yokubhala. Ngisho nangokwengeziwe lapho ukufundwa kudlulisa lokho kungezwani okukhulayo, uphawu lukaMcDermid uqobo.
URobbie Bishop, umdlali wasesiswini weBradfield Vics, ubulawe ngobuthi obuyinqaba. Lezi zindaba zidala umthelela omkhulu, ngoba umdlali webhola ubeyinkanyezi ethandwa kakhulu ngabalandeli.

Kodwa-ke, konke kuba nemvula lapho kuqhuma ibhomu enkundleni yezemidlalo yaseBradfield Vics, okubangela isibhicongo, kuphinde kufe owesibili onobuthi.
Ingabe isenzo sobuphekula? Ukuziphindiselela komuntu siqu? Noma into embi kakhulu? Ukuxazululwa kwemfihlakalo yalesi sitolimende esisha sezigameko zabaphenyi ababili abadalwe ngu-Val McDermid (uTony Hill noCarol Jordan) kugcina umfundi enokushubile kuze kube ikhasi lokugcina.
ukuhlabelela kweSirens
Esinye sezici ezisikisela kakhulu zababalisi bohlobo olumnyama yindlela ababhekana ngayo nokubili phakathi kobugebengu nokufa okuwumphumela. Ngoba into eyodwa ukuphenya i-modus operandi yombulali osemsebenzini kanye nokunye ukuthi umbhali ubhekana kanjani nemiphumela emibi yokufa uqobo. UMcDermid uphethe kule ncwadi, ngokuqinisekile ngenxa yethimba labaphenyi, ukubhekana nezinkinga eziningi ecaleni elinyantisayo lokubulala eliwuchungechunge.

Intambo emithanjeni
Umbono ovelayo wesigebengu esikwaziyo ukuzenza njengejwayelekile, sokubopha imikhuba yaso ngaphandle kwenkinga size siguqule ngokuzithandela nangokukhohlisa sibe uMnu Hyde okumholela ekubulaleni ngenxa yenzondo nezenzo ezimbi. Kulezo zimo, ukusondela okungangabazeki, ukusola njengokuphefumula okubandayo entanyeni, kuphenduka kube ukungezwani okukhulu komfundi.
Inqwaba yamantombazane asemancane anyamalele ezweni lonke. Abukho ubudlelwano obubonakalayo phakathi kwabo, bangamantombazane abaleke ekhaya abe namabhadi. Noma mhlawumbe kukhona okuxhumanisa wonke lawa macala, iphethini efihliwe, umbulali ethunzini?
Uchwepheshe wemininingwane yobugebengu uDkt. Tony Hill usungula ithimba lakhe, futhi ngosizo lukaCarol Jordan baqala ukuphenya. Othile wenza inkolelo-mbono ebonakala ikude futhi ebangela ukungakholwa.
Kepha lapho omunye wabafundi base-Hill ebulawa futhi ecwiywa izitho zomzimba, kubonakala sengathi i-wackiness iqala ukuba nomqondo, ngoba umuntu ojwayelekile futhi obukekayo kakhulu emhlabeni angaba yisigebengu esiphazamisekile ...
