Sinossi
Benvenuti a Niceville, una piccola cittadina del Sud degli Stati Uniti, circondata dal verde delle colline, popolata di alberi e di antiche ville coloniali, e… abitata dal Male. A Niceville, ogni famiglia nasconde un segreto. A Niceville, la gente sparisce nel nulla, e raramente se ne trova traccia. Per questo, quando Rainey, di soli dieci anni, scompare, tutte le forze di polizia locale si mobilitano, senza alcun indizio da seguire… È solo il primo anello di una catena di avvenimenti che travolgeranno, nel giro di trentasei ore, la vita di molte persone. Nick Kavanaugh, un poliziotto con un lato oscuro, indaga, aiutato dalla moglie Kate, ma a Niceville il male sembra essere molto più forte degli uomini…

a canadian writing southern gothic?? i am there. with bells on. so you have a town that is smalltown, but not as inbreed-y/insular as, say,in Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone . niceville is one of those southern historically-respectful towns, with its long memory of its "four families" an Leggi tutto
Der kleine Rainey Teague verschwindet unter sehr merkwürdigen Umständen spurlos. Er ist nicht auffindbar, doch gute zehn Tage nach seinem Verschwinden taucht er wieder auf - in einer Gruft, zu der es eigentlich gar keinen Zugang gibt. Wie ist er dort hineingekommen?

Something is wrong in Niceville, where evil lives far longer than men do A boy vanishes on Main Street. It is caught on CCTV the moment he disappears. A bank robbery goes wrong; 4 cops are killed. A TV helicopter is shot down, triggering a chain of events that spread across twenty different lives
Rainey Teague is walking home from school one afternoon, looking into store windows, when he disappears. Seems this kind of thing is common in Niceville, which seems to have an unusually large number of abductions. Other terrible things also happen in town. - There's been a recent bank robbery, associ Leggi tutto
It didn't gel for me. The author seemed to aim at somewhere between a dark comedy of errors and a ghost(ish) story in the vein of a Stephen King in the mood to tap into the history of a creepy town populated by locals with genealogies stretching back to some fatal root. It was a bit creepy, at least Leggi tutto
Few will agree with me on this one, but that's ok. As they say down here in the South ( the South, not Stroud's wackadoodle Niceville South), this creeped me smooth out . Don't have time for a complete review (wifi-squatting here) but jo (and, hopefully, you) might agree: Niceville (and its sequel, T Leggi tutto
There was a lot to like about this book. Snappy writing, crisp dialogue, a creepy setting. Too bad it started out as a horror novel and then mixed in a crime thriller. Kept waiting for the twain to meet in some great denouement. But it never happened. Stroud desperately needed an editor to step in a Leggi tutto
A book that includes this passage in the first few pages is a winner: "At 1513:55, Rainey Teague is right there. At 1513:56, the kid is gone ". Sadly, that opening and the tension surrounding the disappearance of Rainey disappear in the next few chapters. There are five main strands here: Rainey's rea Leggi tutto
