Detective Saussure Mysteries #1
Immortal Bones
DEATH IS NOT ALWAYS THE END
It's the '50s and Richard Saussure could have sworn he'd heard it all between his career as a police officer and his current PI business...
Then a man walks in saying he is 213 years old.
Lord Hurlingthon wants to die, but he cannot no matter what he tries. The worst part, he doesn’t understand why. As a last effort, he reaches out to the only person who can’t say no to his cry for help. Detective Richard Saussure has never walked away from an unsolved case. If anyone can help, Richard Saussure has the reputation and the results Lord Hurlingthon needs.
But how do you solve a mystery that defies all laws of nature?
Maybe with the help of your enemy. It is not something Richard is eager to employ, but Doctor Annette Kensington has the skills and the passion for justice he needs. If only she did not completely loathe him...
Can Detective Saussure convince her to put aside their differences for the sake of justice, or will this be the case he fails to solve? If Lord Hurlingthon is going to have a chance to die, they better work fast.

De vez en cuando, me gusta entrar en Amazon y buscar entre los miles de libros autoeditados de los que dispone. Lo primero que me llama la atención son las portadas, que acompañadas de unos precios muy económicos, hacen de estás novelas una buena opción para saciar el hambre lectora...

Fue una lectura agradable.
El libro nos habla sobre la vida y, principalmente, sobre la muerte.
Nos cuenta la historia de un hombre que quería saber por qué no podía morir, y para eso contrata a un detective el cual se encarga de descifrar ese misterio del hombre inmortal.
Un final que me mantuvo entretenido.

A touch slow at the start,but it ended up being a twisty supernatural suspense story with a satisfying ending. 4.5 ⭐

Supernatural thriller is a spot on description of this fine mystery. I'd give it 5 stars but for the excessive 'cutsie' verbiage throughout that tends to give the impression the author is trying to impress the reader with her vocabulary. It's annoying in excess. The other flaw is the druid fantasy ability to change the woods surrounding her. Even with these flaws, the twists and turns and the surprises leaked out through the story make it a great read. The characters are well developed, in come cases too much, and the protagonist is stereotypical.
I'd recommend the book as it is a good page turner.

A thoroughly enjoyable story with unique situations and a familiar tone which I personally like (noir-ish) as well as a pace that keeps the reader engrossed in the plot. The characters are well developed, very visual scenes, and reader can find a great tale packed into a short story. The protagonist is reminiscent of a hard boiled detective gone rogue as detective, but then the reader is also introduced to his sensitive side as well, and as a reader felt for this pining widower who keeps moving forward. Tenacious. I believe more stories follow and I look forward to paging through then all. Well done, I recommend the story.

Plot wise, this book is brilliant, it is unique, it makes a kinda weird sense even when dealing with the paranormal and it kept me glued to the page.
The story, the detective, the world building, the dialogue all is brilliant.
For those who loves the genre and needs a novel with a well....novel approach and a fresh take, then this my friend is the book for you.
It could do with a bit more editing, thus my 4 star rating. Again, if you want a fresh approach to the genre with a twist of the paranormal then THIS is the BOOK for you.

Cuando comenzamos a leer esta más que interesante novela, se nos vino a la cabeza ese comienzo de The big sleep, donde Philip Marlowe se acerca a la casa del General Sternwood...Aquí también hay un detective y una casa, solo que ésta se transforma en una especie de casa Usher.
Y no es casual esta sensación, ya que la autora, intencionalmente, propone su obra como un homenaje a los relatos clásicos de detectives y al género de misterio y terror, como resultado de sus intereses: las novelas de Agatha Christie, el cine negro y el mundo de lo sobrenatural.
Así, nos encontramos con el protagonista: Richard Saussure, detective privado, que, como el héroe chandleriano, aparenta dureza y cinismo, y nos narra la historia en primera persona, con un lenguaje simple, no exento de ironías y humor.
Sabemos de él que es solitario, que fué policía, que perdió a su esposa, y, para vengar su muerte cometió un crimen. Su paso por las filas policíacas le dejó viejas amistades y enemistades, y, sobre todo contactos - de uno y otro lado de la ley - que le sirven de ayuda.
En este caso que nos ocupa, Sausssure es convocado por un anciano de familia noble, quien desea contratarlo para que investigue por qué, pese a su más que avanzada edad y su notable deterioro físico, y pese a varios intentos para lograrlo, no puede morir.
Así, entramos en una atmósfera típica del terror gótico. Una antigua mansión señorial en medio de un páramo, un anciano y fiel mayordomo, viejos retratos familiares, y una antigua maldición, donde la vida y la muerte se entrecruzan.. no falta un bosque con sus deidades para resaltar el aspecto sobrenatural del relato.
En definitiva, una entretenida novela, - primera de una serie - cuya publicación, los amantes del género policial y del de terror, no podemos más que festejar.

No tengo ni idea de cómo llegó a mí este libro, no sé si lo encontré por casualidad curioseando por Amazon, o si me lo recomendó alguien, y es una lástima, porque si fue así me gustaría darle las gracias. Lo empecé sin grandes expectativas, casi al revés, sin ganas, pero me conquistó en un momento.
Me gustaron los protagonistas, la relación que se establece entre ellos, las curiosidades y extravagancias propias de cada uno que los hacen personajes muy reales para una historia que se autodenomina sobrenatural y que no lo es tanto.
Parte de una base extraña, desde luego, un hombre de doscientos años que no puede morir y contrata a un detective para que averigüe por qué, pero a partir de ese punto se vuelve una historia bastante realista, a excepción de algún personaje místico del bosque que quizá, por tal diferencia con el resto, me sobró. Pero hasta el final, que era difícil de cerrar de una manera creíble y coherente, está bien trazado, escrito con cuidado y cariño por la trama.
Además, añado que me ha gustado mucho el estilo de la autora. Aunque en ocasiones se detiene demasiado en descripciones de lugares y edificios, en general va bastante al grano, y pincela los párrafos con algunas imágenes más que interesantes.
En resumen, que es probable que busque la continuación de esta saga.

Inmortal de Trinidad Giachino tiene una premisa fascinante: un detective privado que debe investigar la supuesta inmortalidad de un aristócrata. La atmósfera de misterio, los diálogos ágiles y el pasado tortuoso del protagonista, Richard Saussure, enganchan desde las primeras páginas. La autora sabe cómo construir tensión y mantener al lector preguntándose si Lord Hurlingthon realmente es inmortal o si hay una explicación lógica detrás de todo.
Sin embargo, el mayor problema radica en el desenlace: la explicación de la inmortalidad y los eventos que llevan al clímax resultan apresurados y demasiado simples para la complejidad del misterio planteado. Después de tanto suspense y giros, la revelación final se siente anticlimática y poco elaborada, como si la autora hubiera optado por la salida más fácil en lugar de una resolución que honrara la intriga inicial.
Aunque la prosa es fluida y el concepto es original, la falta de profundidad en el origen de la inmortalidad y en las motivaciones de los personajes secundarios deja una sensación de oportunidad perdida. Es una lectura entretenida, pero el final puede dejar a los amantes del género con un sabor agridulce.

‘Immortal Bones (Detective Saussure Mysteries Book 1)’ by Trinidad Giachino
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
Finished on March 11, 2018
FREE on Kindle
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Set in 1952, Private Detective Richard Saussure is hired to solve the mystery of why Lord Hugh Hurlingthon can’t die. Pulling Saussure out of his comfort zone, 213-year-old Lord Hurlingthon challenges the detective, and Saussure isn’t going to back down. His reputation is to always solve the case, after all.
In this dark paranormal mystery, Richard Saussure will have to dig deep into his own past and ask for the help of his favorite enemy: Dr. Annette Kensington, a forensic doctor whose thirst for justice equals her despise for Saussure.
MY REVIEW:
‘Immortal Bones’ is an interesting take on immortality, morality, and family.
Trinidad Giachino has crafted characters with bold and distinct personalities. Detective Saussure is sassy, witty, and just enough of a jerk to make you like him. Dr. Annette Kensington gives him back exactly what he gives her. Their relationship is a delightful exchange of insults combined with respect.
Lord Hurlingthon is a soft and sympathetic character. From the onset of his claim to of immortality, I believed him. Giachino’s vibrant description of his corpse-like appearance further solidified his believability.
I felt like the ending was a bit rushed compared to the pacing of the rest of the novel. Also, I hope the druid makes appearances in future novels, otherwise I didn’t feel like that storyline was quintessential to the plot.
Overall, I found this book to be an enjoyable read.

Immortal Bones: A supernatural thriller (Detective Saussure Mysteries Book 1)
by Trinidad Giachino
First, let me say that the author is from Argentina, which I believe probably accounts for the stiffness, unnaturalness of the English translation -- which is one of the main reasons why this book is rated only a 3.
Trinidad Giachino calls the series of which this is the first entry a "horror book series for adults." Hmm. I found nothing that I would call "horror" about it. I also found nothing terrifying, nothing putting the main characters in danger, nothing making me wish I was reading in the daytime instead of the wee hours of the morning. And that's the other half of the equation which reduced this book to just 3 stars.
Other than the odd sentence structure and stiffness of text, the author did a very good job of describing surroundings, fleshing out characters, setting scenes, and all the other things that I look for when I'm rating a book. The mystery was a good one, albeit not a dangerous or terrifying one. While I had a theory about how the mystery came to be that was close to the author's plot, close doesn't count except in horseshoes, so I still had a surprise coming toward the end.
So, yes, it was a good book and I enjoyed it. No, I won't be reading any more in this series.

Inmortal es una novela que combina lo policíaco con lo sobrenatural con algunos tintes góticos y algo de romanticismo. Nos cuenta una historia corta, de un hombre que vive mortificado por su condición que es que no puede morir y contrata a nuestro protagonista Richard para que descubra que causa su condición y que lo ayude a morir. Durante el transcurso de la novela vemos a Richard mostrarse algo escéptico e investiga la veracidad del asunto pero durante sus investigaciones da con el pasado de aquel hombre. El personaje de Richard algo que me gusta es su personalidad con un humor irónico y negro que le da carisma, ademas de valerse de métodos ortodoxos y poco éticos en ocasiones para llegar a una pista, es observador y no suele conformarse con las cosas a primera instancia y busca lo oculto, por lo que nos da un personaje muy completo. La historia en si tiene buen ritmo aplicando bien el misterio, la narración es fácil, lo que ayuda a atrapar el lector. Aunque el final me parece apresurado como que encuentra la respuesta por casualidad pero no es un mal final y te deja sastisfecho.

Me encantó. Es de una lectura fácil y agradable. Los personajes están increíbles. El sentido del humor que el personaje principal muestra en sus diálogos y en la forma de relacionarse con los demás lo hace único.
También el detalle de qué ciertos personajes vengan acompañados por un mote; "el auténtico", "el gruñón", etc, me ha parecido muy original y divertido.
Finalmente me ha gustado mucho como se mezcla lo "fantástico" con el género policial, manteniendo una marcada línea de separación entre ambos géneros, pero sin que quede mal, sino que por el contrario se ve muy natural.
Además la historia me ha sabido mantener con la intriga y curiosidad por saber durante todo el libro cuál será el descubrimiento del personaje al final, si la causa se trata de algo sobrenatural o de un timo.
La verdad,...genial el libro.

Detective Saussure is an ex-cop and currently a private detective. His latest client is a 213 year old man who is unable to die and wants desperately to know why. The investigation leads into a very strange world. I have never heard of this author before, but am very glad that I found her. She has a beautiful way with words, even while describing the trivial. I read this as IMMORTAL BONES, although Goodreads has this named as UNDEAD.
August 17, 2017
Thoroughly enjoyed the story. What I didn't like was the over use of metaphor, simile and many unnecessary adjectives. I didn't think the " amusing " quips from the detective added anything, in fact he sounded cruel. However, the last part of the story was much better written from that perspective. It seemed like the author was at last, trying to tell the story rather than experiment with language. Not an edge of your seat story, but an unusual and enjoyable one.

Immortal Bones ( (un) dead ) book #1 by Trinidad Giachino is a Paranormal Thriller that will take you on a journal with your beliefs of good vs. evil. Retired Detective Richard Saussure was hired to find out why a very very wealthy man cannot die. The case takes Saussure to places he doesn't want to go to. For him this case will put his faith into question. A must read book for any one who loves a good Paranormal Suspense Thriller.

Good not perfect
I have so far enjoyed this storyline with a supernatural twist.
I would have liked more information on the characters, more detailed. It came over a bit plain for a detective. I found the details on the case good but the end has been rushed and not dramatic enough.

Los conceptos de vida y muerte se apropian de una historia en la que el misterio plaga la narración de principio a fin. Hay una gran ilación y los toques místicos la apartan de una tradicional novela policíaca. El desenlace está bien trabajado y te inunda de una sensación bastante agradable al conocerlo.

Not my mind of story
It's not my kind of story to much sadness and heartache for me. I hope Trinidad has some live and happiness in his life and doesn't live all his life in his dad stories.

No esperaba mucho de este libro, sin embargo terminé devorando en 24 horas!
Lord Hurlington es un hombre que dice tener 213 años de edad y que no puede morir; por lo que contrata los servicios del detective Saussare para que aclare el misterio de su inmortalidad y quizás así, él logre descansar.
Saussare, naturalmente escéptico, decide indagar y llegar al fondo del misterio aún pidiendo ayuda y consejo a su colega rival.
Una novela dinámica que mezcla el misterio policial con el terror y el suspenso paranormal que te engancha desde la página uno.
Aunque el tema no era muy atrayente para mi, resulto hacerme pasar una tarde completa de lectura trepidante logrando sumergir en este nada convencional caso de vivos y muertos.

A good suspense.
I enjoyed this story. This is a good supernatural suspense mystery. Saussure searched for the reason the man cannot die. The plot is good, and the characters are well-written. I never expected the solution to the investigation. There are surprises in the story.

Intrigue and surprises
Loved the way this was written and the plot twists keep it moving at a good pace. Would be interested in the others in the series.

In the footsteps of Bram Stoker?
The aura created In "Immortal Bones" reminded me very much of "Dracula," but I actually enjoyed this story by Trinidad Giachino much more. I thought her turn of phrase was captivatingly vivid, making it easy to visualize what the protagonist was seeing, such as "looking at the naked trees or at the hard land as it was being stripped of her green summer dress and forced to cover dherself up with a brown turtleneck sweater."
Stoker wrote with heavy Christian overtones, and the characters' strong faith was integral to the solution to their mystery. Giachino is obviously not proposing any Christian answers to the mystery that Detective Saussure is attempting to solve, in fact, she dismisses God with a wave of her pen. Even though I operate from a strong base of Christian faith, I understand that many people who have no trouble embracing mysticism, have great difficulty grappling with the non-physical aspects of death according to Christian spiritual concepts.
I didn't really feel that enough back story came out about Saussure to make me curious and wanting to get to know him better, however, I am pondering the purchase of more Saussure mysteries to get to know Giachino's writing better. We'll see.
