In "Poison Flower" tauchen die Motive wieder auf, die bereits den ersten Band der Serie "Dance for the Dead" beherrschten, nur viel schlechter ausgeführt. Man wird den Gedanken nicht los, dass Perry den Roman möglichst schnell herunterreißen wollte und ihm dabei nicht viel Neues eingefallen ist.
Jane Whitefield rettet diesesmal einen zu Unrecht des Mordes an seiner Ehefrau Verdächtigten, was eine wilde Verfolgungsjagd des (Achtung, Spoiler) tatsächlichen Mörders bzw. seiner Fusstruppen zur Folge hat, mit den üblichen Verwicklungen. Teile des Showdown erinnern an Band eins der Serie, allerdings lieblos heruntergerotzt.
Ich gebe aber zu, die Folterszenen nur quergelesen zu haben, die zählen auch gerade in ihrer Brutalität zu den Neuerungen. Jane - sie muss jetzt wohl mindestens Mitte bis Ende Dreißig sein - und ihre Beziehung zu ihrem Ehemann sind in ihrer Entwicklung aber nicht sehr glaubwürdig dargestellt (einmal davon abgesehen, wie glaubwürdig so eine Superfrau tatsächlich ist), aber in den letzten zehn Jahren hat sich außer dem frustrierten Kinderwunsch im letzten Band in ihrem Leben nichts getan. Und man fragt sich, was sie sonst so tut, wenn sie nicht wie jetzt nur alle paar Jahre einmal Verfolgten eine andere Identität verschafft. Dass das eine enthusiastische Mittzwanzigerin als Lebensinhalt tut, kann ich noch "glauben", aber bei einer zehn Jahre älteren Arztgattin - hm. Hier hätte sich der Autor mehr einfallen lassen können, aber er hat den Aufwand vermieden (wie auch auffiel, dass er nicht einmal den genauen Namen einer Figur aus dem ersten Band richtig nachgesehen hat).
Fazit: Jane Whitefield-Fans lesen das Buch sowieso. Wer die Reihe nicht kennt, ist mit dem ersten Band wirklich besser bedient.

A Different Jane Than We Have Known
2. Januar 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Readers who know Jane Whitefield as an Indian guide will find a different Jane in this novel-an Indian warrior. Jane, a descendant of the Seneca Nation in western New York state, has made it her life's work to guide those in danger of death or great bodily harm to new lives.
This book starts out on the same note. Jane is asked to help a man who has been falsely accused and convicted of murdering his wife. His escape from the courthouse is going well when they are accosted by three men. Her client escapes, but Jane is caught and thrown into a car. They are not police as she thought but agents of a man who wants her client dead. They are determined to learn his whereabouts from her and proceed to torture her.
She escapes but is still in danger as her captors have discovered that men are looking for her to find others she has helped and will pay well to have her. The plot moves rapidly as she uses her skill to avoid capture while helping her client stay safe. This is a different Jane than we have known- one who has survival skills that serve her well and is not cowed by violence. The book is violent as the others were not, but the violence was visited on her and she could only react.
I could only wonder at the end how this episode would affect Jane's marriage and her desire to be a normal physician's wife in her community. Perhaps there will be a book eight to tell us.

See Jane Run. Run, Jane, Run
22. Dezember 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Thomas Perry is one of the best thriller writers of our time.
His "Jane Whitfield" series is him writing at the top of his game.
This, latest. hits the ground running and only gains momentum with each page.
In the FIRST 15 pages, Jane executes a brilliant escape plan for her latest "client"; discovers herself to be targeted by some very dark forces who (we will discover) are very p.o.'ed at her success; tries any number of clever ploys to evade these dark force; AND she FAILS!
What happens next well (to paraphrase Sondheim) that's the book!
Don't start it if you don't have time to finish it!
It's that good!

"One man's poison is another man's spinach" George Ade
2. Februar 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Jane Whitefield has made her compassion for the less fortunate an advocation. She makes a living by helping people disappear. In the past, she has helped women trying to escape from abusive situations and helped others who were being hunted by killers.
James Shelby was framed for his wife's murder and now the people who set him up want him dead. He's in prison but called to testify about a case. While awaiting his trip to the courthouse, Jane stages his escape.
However, she's caught by the people who are after Shelby. In attempting to escape from them, Jane is shot. She's taken to a secluded spot where they think they can force her to reveal what she knows.
Jane not only must try to withstand their punishment but she learns that she may be auctioned off to wish to get their revenge against her for helping someone escape their grasp.
The author knows how to tell a story and has a wonderful talent for describing situations that some unfortunate people get into. We feel sympathetic for these people who are facing cruel situations that didn't result from their actions.
Jane is a unique character in that she brings such empathy into a story. She's not a super hero but is able to put herself into the position of the victim and use her skills to aleviate the situation.
The story moves along swiftly and is filled with excellent adventure as Jane tries to save herself and the people she's protecting. She also shows her normal side in wanting to finish the case to get back to her husband and maybe, to start a family.
This is a very enjoyable story demonstrating the strength of one woman and what good things a person can do for another. It is a lesson for us all.
