review 1: The End of Wasp Season is part police procedural and part psychological thriller. When shady business man, Lars Anderson, commits suicide by hanging , his death sets several events in motion including a brutal homicide. Alex Morrow is called upon to investigate and discovers a complicated web of secrets, lies and family dysfunction. Denise Mina does a fabulous job with the character development in this book. The characters aren't portrayed as all good or all bad but rather a realistic mix. I enjoyed this book and the rich language and beautiful prose. The author paints a rich story that catches your attention and pulls you within its pages. I haven't read the first Alex Morrow book but I plan on checking it out after enjoying the second book so much.
review 2:
... moreI am not sure what genre this book would fall into. If it was a mystery, I would pick a different novel next time. If it was of a different genre, I'd probably do the same thing. I am not sure if the ending had some kind Of a twist about the psyche of who did the crime or if I was just looking for a twist to justify having read the novel. The book wasn't bad. I just think there are plenty of other books around with more to offer. less
