Hudson's Kill by Paddy Hirsch is very well written, with murder, mystery and conspiracy.
The story is set in New York on September in the year 1803.
What had me personally hooked into this story was the discription of words and sentences that just flowed from page to page.
When a young girl had been found dead, the body is carried to the morgue hidden by a blanket.
I really felt the tension and growling in the air with the crowd of black men. The way the scenes and words played out, I could even imagine the men shouting angry accusing a sergeant with what have you done.
Quite a bit more happens within this story that I haven't mentioned.
My only regret is I didn't read the first book by Paddy Hurst. I think I need to read that too.
I know authors think that writing a second book is the hardest, but I'm very honoured to have read this second book.
A beautiful well written book that I highly recommend.
