College student Joe Talbert has the modest goal of completing a writing assignment for an English class. His task is to interview a stranger and write a brief biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe heads to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he meets Carl Iverson, and soon nothing in Joe's life is ever the same.
Iverson is a dying Vietnam veteran--and a convicted murderer. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home, after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder.
As Joe writes about Carl's life, especially Carl's valor in Vietnam, he cannot reconcile the heroism of the soldier with the despicable acts of the convict. Joe, along with his skeptical female neighbor, throws himself into uncovering the truth, but he is hamstrung in his efforts by having to deal with his dangerously dysfunctional mother, the guilt of leaving his autistic brother vulnerable, and a haunting childhood memory.
Thread by thread, Joe unravels the tapestry of Carl’s conviction. But as he and Lila dig deeper into the circumstances of the crime, the stakes grow higher. Will Joe discover the truth before it’s too late to escape the fallout?

This mystery debut contains enough twists and turns to keep me interested, but at the same time, the plots have so many clichés, making me feel like I was watching a Hollywood movie – everything will always work out at the end.
评分讲真开始我还蛮喜欢的,但是最后那段大抓马太过了反而俗了……
评分搬家时听的另一本小说,总的来说挺好,适合无脑听,除了结尾部分还是太好莱坞了。
评分少的一星是因为前半部分尤其是前几章很无聊。 少一星是因为总写他对女主咋咋地的,磨磨唧唧。 有一星是给英文,有一些生词,不多,正好适合 有一星给结尾部分,最后几章看的还是很有意思的。当然了,主角光环太过强大。 最后一星送给自己,至少看完了,哈哈
评分行文很流畅,情节扣人心弦,所以我这个许久没看过英文书的人也能坚持把它看完。不过,最后那一段drama真的很受不了啊,明明水落石出马上大结局了,结果为了安排一个刺激桥段,有多少时间也不可以给警察叔叔打电话啦,非要马上家里出事了,要罪犯神速找到住址抓走女友啦,不就是一个电话的事吗?!!!明知道结局肯定是大圆满的,还要安排这个段落,如果不是马上就结局真是看不下去了…… 如其他人说的,too predictable, 最后的drama是为了drama而drama。 但文笔还是挺好的~超顺畅~
当我认真看这本书的时候,恰好是过年期间。“爆竹声中一岁除,春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户曈曈日,总把新桃换旧符。”新年的气息洋溢在身边每个细节里,窗外细细碎碎的白雪地理有大红的鞭炮彼此起付,厨房里有亲人在忙碌年夜饭,电视里传来各种新年节目的欢声笑语。一切都是美好...
评分 评分 评分 评分无意之间读了这本书。一开始感觉美国式的生活感扑面而来。乔的一次作业,结识了一位强奸杀人犯。每次读到这样的内容,后面情节其实就比较显然了,但是最后读到在为卡尔洗脱罪名,他安然去世时,我还是难过了。一个从始至终都想死掉的人,因为想死掉,被当作英雄又被当作畜生。...
