![]() ![]() I didn't care for any of the characters, other than Alison, who whose thoughts we hear at the end of each chapter. I don't plan to read any more in the series, unless they fit in with a challenge I'm completing. I didn't care of Thorne, who I thought selfish and manipulative. ![]() I understand there's a TV series based on these novels (currently twelve) so maybe it translates better in film. Thorne now realizes that Alison Willetts wasn't a mistake, she was the first success. Thorne finds a note underneath his car windshield wiper from the killer, explaining "practice makes perfect". Except the fourth victim, Alison Willetts, has survived the procedure and is currently hooked up to a ventilator in hospital, unable to speak or move, a casualty of locked-in syndrome. His latest case is a serial killer whose MO is to target women in their homes, drug them and then give them strokes by kinking an artery in their necks. Thorne is all about his job, an obsession that's left him with a reputation in the Metropolitan Police for being an awkward bastard and someone who it's best not to associate with too much if you have any care for your job. ![]() ![]() We are introduced to Detective Inspector Tom Thorne in the first book of the series, 2001's Sleepyhead. ![]() ![]() The 1970s and 8Os saw Wright's interest in the spiritual world taking centre stage. Priapically blessed, Wright himself became entertainer, model and muse, performing at private parties and clubs throughout the 1960s. Imprisoned for being gay in 1959, he was released a year later and began a successful career as artist model, most notable posing as 'the body' of Rudolf Nureyev for a Madam Tussaud's waxwork. Wright's artwork featured in many of the internationally renowned publications including Fizeek, Adonis, Sir Gay, Male Classics, Modern Man and Body Beautiful. First gaining a reputation drawing the likeness of 'Theatreland' stars such as Marlene Dietrich, Mae West and Vivien Leigh, Wright eventually turned his graphic skills to the burgeoning 'Physique' and 'Men's Interest' magazine industry. With youthful determination Wright found ways to meet the stars he idolized, and more importantly stumbled upon the secret World of London's homosexual scene. ![]() ![]() Seduced by the sparkle of cinema's entertainers the young Ronald Wright was drawn to London's West End in the early 1950s.
