About this listen
Penelope faceva il pubblico ministero, poi un misterioso incidente ha messo drammaticamente fine alla sua carriera. Un giorno si presenta da lei un uomo che è stato indagato per l'omicidio della moglie. Il procedimento si è concluso con l'archiviazione ma non ha cancellato i terribili sospetti da cui era sorto. L'uomo le chiede di occuparsi del caso, per recuperare l'onore perduto. Penelope, dopo un iniziale rifiuto, si lascia convincere...
Gianrico Carofiglio ci consegna una figura femminile dai tratti epici.

Story
“Il Coccodrillo” lo chiamano i giornali: perché, come il coccodrillo quando divora i propri figli, piange. E come il coccodrillo è una perfetta macchina di morte: si apposta, osserva, aspetta. E colpisce. Tre giovani, di età e provenienza sociale diverse, vengono trovati morti in tre differenti quartieri, freddati dal colpo di un’unica pistola. L’ispettore Giuseppe Lojacono è l’unico che non si ferma alle apparenze, e riuscirà a trovare il collegamento, apparentemente inesistente, tra i delitti.

È un libro avvincente, ironico e spiritoso.

Story
Salento, giugno 1934. A Lizzanello, un paesino di poche migliaia di anime, una corriera si ferma nella piazza principale. Ne scende una coppia: lui, Carlo, è un figlio del Sud, ed è felice di essere tornato a casa; lei, Anna, sua moglie, è bella come una statua greca, ma triste e preoccupata: quale vita la attende in quella terra sconosciuta? Persino a trent’anni da quel giorno, Anna rimarrà per tutti «la forestiera», quella venuta dal Nord, quella diversa, che non va in chiesa, che dice sempre quello che pensa.

Story
In Europa la guerra è cominciata, eppure da noi qualcuno si illude ancora che sia possibile tenerla fuori della porta. E poi sta arrivando la piú bella delle feste, quella dove si mangia, si beve, ci si abbraccia, quella in cui ci si scambiano doni con le persone care. Erminia Cascetta era diversa, a modo suo. Aveva troppa voglia di vivere, perciò l’hanno uccisa. In questo tempo che accelera verso l’abisso, spetta al commissario Ricciardi e al brigadiere Maione scoprire chi è stato. La chiave di tutto, però, è sempre la solitudine.

Story
La corsa all'alba, la colazione al bar, poi nove ore di lavoro all'archivio del tribunale, una cena piena di silenzi e la luce spenta alle dieci: Carlo Cappai è l'incarnazione della metodicità, della solitudine. Dell'ordinarietà. Nessuno sospetta che ai suoi occhi quel labirinto di scatole, schede e cartelle non sia affatto carta morta. Tutto il contrario: quei faldoni parlano, a volte gridano la loro verità inascoltata, la loro richiesta di giustizia.

Story
Roberto Marías è un uomo spezzato dal passato, dai ricordi di un padre perso troppo presto e da quelli di una vita pericolosa, trascorsa come agente sotto copertura. Di professione fantasma, ha imparato a ingannare, a tradire, a sparire senza lasciare traccia. Quando incontra Emma e suo figlio Giacomo, le loro solitudini iniziano a parlarsi e qualcosa impercettibilmente, cambia. Una narrazione serrata e struggente sui padri e i figli, i vuoti dell'anima e la fragilità degli uomini.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Un libro gradevole.
La protagonista è una donna interessante, divertente e adeguatamente segnata da errori passati.
La storia forse si basa un po' troppo su coincidenza fortuite ma, come ho già detto, è gradevole.
La lettura dell'autore in alcuni momenti non è il massimo ma non è il suo lavoro e quindi non ci si può aspettare quello che
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
