Her team gets a very small mention here and there, which is a real shame.

It's Smokey AND her team that make reading this series so interesting. There is very little mention of her new husband or her adopted daughter, Bonnie. Again, it was these characters that brought the previous books alive.

Die Stille vor dem Tod

Because this author seemingly disappeared for years makes me wonder if he actually wrote this book. If you haven't read this series, I would not recommend starting with this one.

As the story begins, a very pregnant Smoky and her team travel to a suburb of Denver where once a small, quiet neighbourhood has now become a baffling scene of grizzly murders. The killer has left a bloody message for Smoky which leads to gruesome discoveries that will have your heart pounding. Although this is a dark, detailed and disturbing read, full of graphic violence, it is a remarkable addition to the Smoky Barrett series and I highly recommend it.

Cody McFadyen is one of my all-time favourite authors and I look forward to where he takes us next.

The killer also left a couple things for Smoky…. The hits just keep on coming as it becomes clear a complex, insidious plan has been in the works for years.

Those responsible have a simple goal. They just want you to tell the truth. I was a quarter of the way through before my heart rate returned to normal. There is a mountain of information to sift through with tentacles that stretch in surprising directions. Real life events of the past 30 years figure into the plot which adds an uneasy truth to the story. This entry has a different, less linear format than previous books in the series. Hence, the following warning. I have to give Mr. Despite many scenes that made me squirm, I kept reading because I HAD to know how it would all play out. Do people like this exist?

God, I hope not. But in the end, after so much darkness, there is hope beaming out of the final pages. View all 19 comments. Not my favourite of this series - certainly waited long enough for it to be published! To say I was disappointed, would be correct. Would have liked less sermon and more action like the other books. Extremely wordy book - am wondering if it was all Not my favourite of this series - certainly waited long enough for it to be published!

Extremely wordy book - am wondering if it was all just filler which it seemed to be for me for a preset number of pages in a book. Oct 09, Sebastian rated it liked it. Hochschwanger in den Wahnsinn Fangen wir mal ganz von vorne an: Smoky und ihr Team werden nach Denver abkommandiert, wo eine Familie brutal ermordet und auf bizarre Weise in ihrem Haus zur Schau gestellt wurde.

Nur so viel sei gesagt: Droht Smoky Barrett zu zerbrechen? Keine Sorge, man bekommt zwar einen Abschluss geboten, muss aber nun wahrlich kein Hellseher sein um vorauszusagen, dass dieser Fall wohl in Zukunft noch einmal auf Smokys Schreibtisch landen wird. Auch bleibt durch den starken Fokus auf Smoky selbst leider der Rest des Teams ein wenig auf der Strecke — mit einer kleinen Ausnahme.

Feb 13, Luke Cumbo rated it it was amazing. I NEED this book when is it available in English and Cody's previous book the innocent bone quite annoyed by the lack of information but love Cody's writing style and Smokey Barrett and team just want to read them!!!!!! Answers please Cody, im an excited fan please let me know when I can read your amazing works of art??????? View all 7 comments. Jan 07, Laura von Eden rated it liked it Shelves: Sehr langatmige Passagen, Smoky ging mir wirklich sehr auf die Nerven.

Nov 01, Patrizia rated it did not like it Shelves: Leider ist diesem aber nicht so und nicht zuletzt hatte ich mich auch noch wahnsinnig auf dieses Buch gefreut. Diese beginnt zu Anfang sogar noch recht vielversprechend, ich dachte mir: Da gab es einfach so viele Konstruktionen, die mir vollkommen unauthentisch erschienen. Nur um mal ein Beispiel von vielen zu nennen: Mir ist schon klar, dass man sich im 7. Ein bisschen zu viel Risiko, wenn ihr mich fragt.

Das Motiv Der Mensch ist des Menschen Wolf ist wahrhaftig nicht neu, aber hauptsache man wirft eine Abartigkeit nach der anderen in den Mixer, um daraus den Cocktail mit dem besonders hohen Ekelfaktor zu machen - Sinnhaftigkeit? Und wo war da jetzt bitte der rote Faden? In Die Stille vor dem Tod erscheint diese Aufarbeitung meiner Meinung nach nur als eine Aneinanderreihung von bereits bekannten Katastrophen, die sie erlebt hat. Also beschloss ich mir vorlesen zu lassen. Ich bin mehrmals bei Kapitel 20 eingenickt. Was war das eigentlich??? Aber das war's auch schon. Unterm Strich kann sowas auch interessant sein und funktionieren, hat aber meiner Meinung nach in einem Thriller nicht viel verloren.

Denn bei einem Genre, dessen Hauptmerkmal "Spannung" ist, ist auf diese Weise leider ganz schnell die Luft raus. Spannung erzeugen auf Biegen und Brechen: View all 4 comments. I received a free iBook copy of this novel, just as well or I would have felt I had wasted my money. Having read all the previous novels in the series I was really looking forward to The Truth Factory after such a long wait but I was sadly disappointed. The premise of the novel is excellent with 3 families living next door to each other all brutally murdered and Smokey and the team flying in to Colorado to investigate where they are ambushed.

After that it goes downhill with a poo I received a free iBook copy of this novel, just as well or I would have felt I had wasted my money. After that it goes downhill with a poor execution, limited resolution of any issues and a cliffhanger at the end paving the way for a second part to the story. The first problem I see with the novel is the first person narration which involves all sorts of touchy-freely emotions and boring discussions of theory. It also allows for a lot of padding and unnecessary discussion.

The second problem, although maybe not a problem as much as a criticism, is that it is an extremely violent, nasty novel and all the love shared between Smokey, her family and friends seems saccharine in comparison. I don't envy Mr McFadyen his imagination. The third problem I have lies in the plotting. I don't think I'm stupid but I found it hard to follow the links they made to arrive at their conclusions, especially after long and unnecessarily detailed expositions on problem analysis and game strategy.

Would I read the follow up to The Truth Factory? Yes, if it were more like the first four novels in the series, no, if it were more of the same.

I think my earlier comments said enough so my low rating should not surprise anyone. The sad thing is, the story starts really exciting and the case has a lot of potential. These chapters are not insignificant to the story as a whole, but also what comes later just wasn't as exciting as I had hoped it would be. For me this was too analytical, felt too much like reading a text I think my earlier comments said enough so my low rating should not surprise anyone.

For me this was too analytical, felt too much like reading a text book with lots of examples for different anomalies, to be exciting. The true extent of how tiring such writing can be for me was obvious when I read in bed at night, when the only options were to continue reading or go to sleep. I had lots of early bedtimes last week Ansonsten konnt ich mit der Smoky aus diesem Buch nicht viel anfangen I received this book through NetGalley. German and english review Es sind vier Jahre her, seit dem ich den vierten Teil in der Serie gelesen habe.

Mir zittern immer noch die Knie und mir ist ganz schwindlig von den Wendungen, die es in dem Buch gab. Ich hab die ganzen Charaktere echt vermisst First things first: Ich hab die ganzen Charaktere echt vermisst. Aber ich gebe eine kurze Inhaltsangabe: Schlag auf Schlag, sind Dinge passiert, die ich nicht habe kommen sehen. Und dann alles was zum Ende hin passiert ist?!

Ich komme damit immer noch nicht klar und bin so erschrocken. Now it finally happened and I could experience the fifth book.

See a Problem?

And what an experience it has been. My knees are still shaking and I'm still a bit dizzy from all the twists and turns that the book had to offer. But it was just amazing to read about Smoky, her family and her team again. Item s unavailable for purchase. Please review your cart.
