Another brilliant book from Douglas Kennedy! This man has such intelligence and each book takes you on a captivating journey. This was no exception. After an accidental murder of his wife's "boyfriend", Ben has to cover his tracks and fast. This isn't your usual "running from the police" novel, I assure you!I was prepared to give this a firm five stars but I feel toward the end of the book, the excitement wore off as opposed to increasing. Saying that, I did not see the ending coming anda little too smooth with too many coincidences for my taste. Ben has almost everything going for him. gets away with murder and new identities not once but twice. wonder how Ben can sleep at night and look at himself in the mirror.
I read this book because I saw the French movie that was based upon it. The movie was all right, and much, much better than the book. In the first place, the plot is very thin. Ben Bradford is a Wall Street lawyer and amateur photographer whose marriage is falling apart. When he finds out that his wife is having an affair with a professional but unsuccessful photographer, he kills the man in a fit of anger. He disposes of the body in a way that leads everyone to believe that he was the one who
I bought this book on a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. I found myself picking it up at every available opportunity (I LOVE books that make me not want to put them down). This is the story of a stressed out Wall Street Lawyer in Manhattan who is married with 2 young sons and very disillusioned with his life. He has always longed to be a photographer and regrets the way his life has ended up. By complete accident (I won't spoil it) his life turns upside down in a split second and he
In the book The Big Picture by Douglas Kennedy, a man realizes his life isn't as faboulous as he thought. Or should i say so he thought. He lives in a well known neighborhood with his wife and two children, in a house not so homly filled with antiques from centuries ago. He works as a lawyer making a good salery so his wife can spend the money on more furniture. The main charector forgets about his passion for photography and despite his dreams became a lawyer and not a photogropher. His father
I was really impressed by Douglas Kennedy's second book, The Job. It was a great read but somehow I had gotten the impression it was his first novel. Wrong. The Big Picture is his first novel and it is also excellent. It's not quite as polished as The Job, but a good read nonetheless. Ben Bradford is a Wall Street estates and trusts attorney who makes excellent money. He has a lovely wife, a home in Connecticut, two small sons and a fun hobby. And from his vantage point, his life sucks.
