The Fury of Rachel Monette Kindle Edition

A woman must untangle a dark enigma that dates back to World War II in order to find her kidnapped son in this riveting international thriller from Peter Abrahams, aka Spencer Quinn, author of the Chet and Bernie Mysteries

Rachel Monette arrives home to a scene of unspeakable violence: Her French-born husband, Dan, is dead—the victim of a savage stabbing—and her five-year-old son is missing. A neighbor claims she saw a rabbi taking Adam away. But there are no synagogues in Williamstown.
 
The only clue is a letter Rachel finds in Dan’s safety deposit box. Written in 1942, it’s about the reassignment of three German soldiers to a place called Camp Siegfried in the supposedly unoccupied western part of North Africa. Convinced that the murder and abduction are related to a book Dan recently completed about German-occupied countries during World War II, Rachel travels to North Africa and then on to Israel, where a mass murderer hiding in plain sight is determined to keep the horrors of the past buried forever.

Peter Abrahams – “criminally gifted” according to the New York Times Book Review - is the Edgar-award winning author of thirty-seven novels. Named by Stephen King as his “favorite American suspense novelist,” Abrahams is a writer of great range, his work including boundary-pushing crime novels such as Oblivion and End of Story as well as the dog-narrated and New York Times bestselling Chet and Bernie series (written under his pen name, Spencer Quinn), which “radiate pure comic genius” according to Publishers Weekly. On NPR’s Talk of the Nation, Laura Miller called him “the best writer of psychological fiction around.” He also writes for middle-graders - the Queenie and Arthur series, written under the Quinn pen name, began with Ruff vs. Fluff in 2019. Abrahams was born in Boston, graduated from Williams College, and lives on Cape Cod. You can visit him at peterabrahams.com.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Crime of Passion
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2008
"When do we take off our masks, put on our hats and walk off the stage?" The victim was lured into this trap with one of the robot's enthusiasm about cooking a meal for her. He supposedly worked in the kitchen of an expensive restaurant who works with social workers to hire felons right out of prison. He's not as young as he appears and his fingers have no finger nails. She thought they were messages from God, and he was the "real man" she'd asked God to send to her.

Using toys to make up for their deficiency, nothing works right. Long and floppy, it is frustration for the girl. They needed to make terrific adjustments but did not know how. That's just the beginning of weird abnormal behavior and they know only the animal version which doesn't work. "Get on your knees" is not for an execkution but an aborigense approach. "I suppose I did...but I can't remember when I did, or how." These men are demented, but though she talked like a lady, she could fight like wildcats. One got away but how many of the homeless were lured into damnation and didn't live to talk about it. Too many people talked too much. Rachel was driven by a quiet fury and absolutely would not give up her quest until she learns the truth. This was a journey back in time which taught other bad times whe had wanted to forget. She learned how to use her own destructive power. We are only on this earth once and for too short a time to hurt the people we love. Rachel did not know the meaning of the word forgiveness but, thank goodness, Mark, knows all words and even how to spell them. He was the object of her fury. It was the devil at work to make people unhappy and run away. If you run from the one you hurt even inadvertently, you may never have another chance for someone to love you. A person with unloving parents grows up to commit the same mistakes and still has a lot to learn as we pass through our time here on earth. I like that song, "Love Will Keep Us Together."

5.0 out of 5 stars Never underestimate the power of a mother’s love.

Rachel Monette’s husband is murdered and her son, abducted. The police are impotent to solve the mystery, so Rachel begins a search through several countries to find him herself. Following clues all the way back to WW II, she uncovers secrets decades old and the repercussions they have wrought. Abrahams has such talent for crafting page-turners, and this is an excellent example.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing story, but shows promise to come.
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2004
"Fury of Rachel Monette" is a thriller where a young Jewish woman searches for her abducted son, but soon finds herself at the center of an international conspiracy to destroy Israel. She crosses paths with another Jewish man with a dark past, and who is the key to the whole conspiracy. The idenitity of the abductor is shocking, and you will feel gratified at the ending, but the whole thing rings hollow by the time you get there.
