Commentary Toward Books Red Leaves

Eric Moore has a prosperous business, a comfortable home, a stable family life in a quiet town. Then, on an ordinary night, his teenage son Keith babysits Amy Giordano, the eight-year-old daughter of a neighboring family. The next morning Amy is missing, and Eric isn't sure his son is innocent.

In his desperate attempt to hold his family together by proving his - and the community's - suspicions wrong, Eric finds himself in a vortex of doubt and broken trust. What should he make of Keith's strange behavior? Of his wife's furtive phone calls to a colleague? Of his brother's hints that he knows things he's afraid to say?

In a "heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching" (New York Daily News) race against time and mistrust, Eric must discover what has happened to Amy Giordano and face the long-buried family secrets he has so carefully ignored.

Write Up Of Books Red Leaves

Red Leaves is a nostalgic, somber look at a family consumed with suspicion. When a little girl goes missing late one night, everybody suspects the loner teenage boy who was babysitting her - including the boy's father, who finds himself torn between protecting his son and solving the mystery of where the girl has ended up.

I was about halfway through this book when I noticed one of the quotes on the back. "Thomas Cook," it said, "writes like a wounded angel." What the hell does that actually mean? My husband did a marvellous imitation of an angel staggering around clutching an open stomach wound while typing, but I don't think that was the idea. Anyway, I have no idea what about this book stirred up such passionate (if idiotic) imagery. I found it really mediocre.The leaves metaphor was really carried too far -

This author writes good suspense. This one was not my favorite. It left me flat and it was a decent story with good characterizations. Maybe it is because I tend to like missing children and baby stories the very least. Always have- and I don't know why. I remember about 3/4ths of the way home on this one, I nearly lost all interest. And that is truly odd with me and this genre of story in particular. And especially for one by Thomas H. Cook.

Thomas H. Cook elevates the mystery genre to the level of literature with his poetic prose and exploration of philosophical dilemmas. While the plot revolves around a little girl's disappearance, the real subject is the corrosive effects of suspicion. Symbolically, the narrator owns a camera shop, and his desire to "frame" events rather than see them clearly wreaks more havoc than the crime itself. The central mystery is solved but others raised along the way are not, leaving us with the

A simple story - your son babysits a little girl, comes home, goes to bed and the next morning the child is found missing. Did your son take her? Kill her?You have to go with the premise that parents wouldn't look in on their child after a night out - I'm not sure of many that would be true of, but after that a tale unfolds that would be a nightmare to any family. I really liked the story, I liked the simplicity of it, the sparse POV (the father of the boy under suspicion). The writing is

I would not, as have others, call Red Leaves a crime story or mystery - and the ending came as no surprise. I would classify it as a sort of a morality tale - and what did come as a surprise is how well the author 'taught his lesson' regarding the devastating effects of suspicion and of hiding one's deepest thoughts and emotions. In this fully-rendered fable, the main character - Eric - clearly illustrates how a person can ruin his own life by allowing the truth to be sugared over by 'how it's

Cook, most famous for his novel The Chatham School Affair, writes grim one-shots that look at murder through blood-colored lenses. Red Leaves tells the story of Eric Moore, a photo-shop owner who finds his family embroiled in the case of a young girl who went missing from her bedroom sometime during or in the night after his son babysat for her. The suspicion and pressure of the investigation puts pressure on the seams of Erics life, both past and present, and those seams dont hold. Its a dark
