212

A Novel

The plot of an Alafair Burke thriller doesn’t just rip from the headlines. She’s one step ahead of them. 212 scares you and keeps you turning the pages into the wee hours.” —Harlan Coben

“Burke has created a strong female protagonist in the tradition of Sara Paretsky’s V.I. Warshawski and Marcia Muller’s Sharon McCone.… Utterly authentic.” —Boston Globe

212 is acclaimed author—and former deputy district attorney—Alafair Burke’s gripping thriller featuring hip, Manhattan-based detective Ellie Hatcher. Fans of Lisa Gardner, Sandra Brown, Karin Slaughter, Harlan Coben, Sue Grafton, and PJ Tracy will find it hard to put 212 down until the very last moment.

A little convoluted

I hoped for a better conclusion but it wasn’t bad. What was bad was the performance. When performing the dialogue for the men, particularly her police partner, it was as if she was just learning how to read. Really awful.

An Unwinding

I love Alafair Burke’s writing and enjoyed this sad tale of human frailty and its deadly ripple affect. Entitled “212” to denote its NYC center of action, Burke’s skillful relating of events brought a satisfied ending to this reader.

Not stellar

Not up to par with other books by this author. I really dislike even a narrator tries to "play" every character. Just read the book.

Excellent Captivating Story

This one had me guessing until the end! I can’t wait to start the next book in the series.

Hard to get through

I started this book over and over like 10x thinking that I missed something. it wasn't what I expected and extremely hard to finish.
