Book description
The New York Times said of Andrew Coburn, â Natural
storytellers are not too common, but Mr. Coburn is one.â And
Publishers Weekly praised his previous novel Sweetheart
as â so good that it is almost criminal.â Love Nest, Andrew
Coburn's gripping new thriller, is certain to gain the same critical acclaim.
The murder of a young and alluring prostitute is at the core of this
compelling story of small-town crime, corruption, and desire. In her
brief stay in Andover, Massachusetts, her charm and beauty had touched
the lives of many of the town's leading citizens, not the least of
whom is the investigator of her murder, Sergeant Sonny Dawson. His
tenacious search for the killer uncovers a netherworld of characters
that shocks his sensibilities but does not dampen his thirst to solve
the case.
The taut psychological drama, the agonizingly suspenseful plot, and
the deft prose that mark Andrew Coburn's writing of Love Nest
consolidate his stature and his fictional territoryÂ-the authentic New
England world he has staked out for himself. And in his portrait of a
small New England town, Coburn reveals the sophistication and breadth
of a most gifted novelist.
