Informació de l'obraNightwork de Nora Roberts
   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   ) lrobe190 | Apr 4, 2024 |  I found Nightwork to be an interesting story in that it focuses primarily on the life of a male main character who has faced hardship and loss and been a thief since he was quite young. Following a MMC who is a sort of anti-hero is something I don’t see a lot in the types of books I have read thus far, so it was entertaining to read a story that was a bit different from what I am used to reading. I liked that we got to learn about Harry’s back story and see how he came to be the man he is later in the book. That said, I did feel like about a third of the book could have been cut out and I wouldn’t have missed anything. The pace was leisurely, with some of the scenes not really moving the plot along or adding much to the story. There were instances where what I was reading felt like a rehash of a scene I had already read with a couple of minor details changed. I found the ending to wrap up a bit too tidily without delving into the more realistic mess that would have come along with the circumstances as well. Overall, the story was entertaining but parts of it were also skimmable.

(And also made me pretty hungry!) (  ) Jeslieness | Jun 25, 2023 | It was fun, no depth to it but a fun read. ( ) wyvernfriend | Mar 27, 2023 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"Harry Booth started stealing at nine to keep a roof over his ailing mother's head, slipping into luxurious, empty homes at night to find items he could trade for precious cash. When his mother finally succumbed to cancer, he left Chicago--but kept up his nightwork. Wandering from the Outer Banks to Savannah to New Orleans, he dons new identities and stays careful, observant, distant. He can't afford to attract attention--or get attached. Still, he can't help letting his guard down when he meets Miranda Emerson. But the powerful bond between them cannot last--because not all thieves follow Harry's code of honor. Some pay others to take risks so they can hoard more treasures. Some are driven by a desire to own people the way they own paintings and jewels. And after Harry takes a lucrative job commissioned by Carter LaPorte, LaPorte sees a tool he can use, and decides he wants to own Harry. The man is a predator more frightening than the alligators that haunt the bayou--and when he strongarms Harry into robbing a Baltimore museum, Harry abandons Miranda--cruelly, with no explanation--and disappears. But no matter what name he uses or where he goes, LaPorte casts a shadow over Harry's life. To truly free himself, he must face down his enemy once and for all. Only then can he hope to possess something more valuable than anything he has ever stolen."-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
