Carmine Delmonico #2
Per daug žmogžudysčių
Šįkart skaitytojų dėmesiui – politinis trileris „Per daug žmogžudysčių“. Tai antrasis susitikimas su detektyvu, kapitonu Karmainu Delmoniku iš knygos „Užsimerk, atsimerk“. Graži pavasario diena universitetiniame Holomano miestelyje Konentikuto valstijoje; septintasis XX a. dešimtmetis, kai tyrėjai negalėjo pasitelkti stulbinančių kriminalistikos pasiekimų, nes jų dar nebuvo, kai galėjo kliautis vien savo jėgomis ir nuojauta.
Pasirodo, kad detektyvas Karmainas Delmonikas turi kur kas didesnių rūpesčių, nei tai, kokį vardą duoti savo naujagimiui sūnui - nes tai, kas staiga įvyko mažame, ramiame ir iš pažiūros idiliškame Holomane, netelpa į jokius rėmus: per vieną dieną nužudoma dvylika miestelio gyventojų, tarp jų – universiteto dekanas. To dar nėra buvę: nežinia, ar žudikas vienas, ar keli. Nežinia, kodėl reikia tokio žiaurumo ir išradingumo žudant – nes atrodo, kad jie smaginasi, galabydami aukas pačiais baisiausiais žiauriausiais būdais. Nužudytieji, atrodo, neturi nieko bendra: jų nesieja nei socialinė padėtis, nei amžius, nei giminystės ryšiai. Tada kas ir dėl ko nužudė šitiek žmonių? Ir pasirodo, kad tai tik pradžia: lavonų ir intrigų daugėja, atsiranda slaptasis agentas Ulisas, prieš mus veriasi politiniai nužudymų scenos užkulisiai...
Colleen McCullough vėl meistriškai didina įtampą ir slepia tiesą iki pat galo, kol pasirodo, kad viskas yra visiškai ne taip, kaip manėte.

About the author
Colleen McCullough
123 books3,096 followersColleen Margaretta McCullough was an Australian author known for her novels, her most well-known being The Thorn Birds and Tim.
Raised by her mother in Wellington and then Sydney, McCullough began writing stories at age 5. She flourished at Catholic schools and earned a physiology degree from the University of New South Wales in 1963. Planning become a doctor, she found that she had a violent allergy to hospital soap and turned instead to neurophysiology – the study of the nervous system's functions. She found jobs first in London and then at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
After her beloved younger brother Carl died in 1965 at age 25 while rescuing two drowning women in the waters off Crete, a shattered McCullough quit writing. She finally returned to her craft in 1974 with Tim, a critically acclaimed novel about the romance between a female executive and a younger, mentally disabled gardener. As always, the author proved her toughest critic: "Actually," she said, "it was an icky book, saccharine sweet."
A year later, while on a paltry $10,000 annual salary as a Yale researcher, McCullough – just "Col" to her friends – began work on the sprawling The Thorn Birds, about the lives and loves of three generations of an Australian family. Many of its details were drawn from her mother's family's experience as migrant workers, and one character, Dane, was based on brother Carl.
Though some reviews were scathing, millions of readers worldwide got caught up in her tales of doomed love and other natural calamities. The paperback rights sold for an astonishing $1.9 million.
In all, McCullough wrote 11 novels.

Alternate title could be Too Many Characters … and I don't really like a one of them thus far.
OK. Finished it. Well, I sort of skimmed through the last few pages. Must try and remember to not read anymore McCullough mysteries ~ one of us doesn't satisfy the other.

Pārāk daudz personāžu, kuri nemitīgi juka kopā un grāmatas atrisinājums tāpēc nelikās nemaz tik interesants. Bija sajūta, ka pašai autorei jūk grāmatas detaļas kopā. Nebija nekādas vajadzības tik ļoti sarežģīt.

It actually pains me to give this book 3 stars. Seriously. This is a continuation of Carmine Delmonico's crime fighting adventures, or whatever you want to call them. We met Delmonico in On, Off. This one starts with 12 muder/deaths on one day in a relatively small college city. They seem unrelated, but...are they?
The plot was vintage McCullough. It started out with a bang, shocking me into realizing this wouldn't be a calm who-dunnit, but the actual turns of phrase fell short of her usual genius. I know she's been very ill, and I want to think that's the problem with this book, at the same time, I didn't feel On, Off really lived up to her name on the front, so maybe it's Delmonico.
In a relatively short book she managed to fit in the above mentioned, 12 murders, plus 2 more and a suicide, rape, necrophilia, child neglect, espionage, political intrigue AND glimpses into the private lives of Delmonico and his team. I couldn't help but feel the entire book would have been improved by about 200 pages more. She's not a flowery describer, but she usually eases us into lives. In this one, I felt she tossed a few details around here and there, no build up, no let down, and the end...whimper instead of bang. She did tell us, in Delmonico's voice that's how crime solving generally ends. You investigate, run around, research, stress, find the killer...and then must wait for a trial that's out of your hands. Maybe that's what she was trying to get across, I just wanted more satisfaction.
It seems as if she's going to be devoting some time to this series. If so, I am more than willing to wait for the next installment. I'd prefer the wait for a pure McCullough, than another installment with the clumsy feel this one had. All the more disapointing because the plot was first rate. She was capable of the perfect book using the bones of the story we got...alas.

Uma leitura impressionante e perturbadora, sobre os crimes que acontecem na cidadezinha de Holloman (Connecticut) que deixa a policia em polvorosa com os onze crimes, dos quais alguns foram cometidos com barbárie.
Carmine e sua equipe lutam para decifrar as causas possíveis destes assassinatos. Porque esta mortes acontecerem numa mesma época, o que estava envolvido nesta incógnita? Que relações tinham essas pessoas em comum.
E assim, penetrando no mundo de enredos e mentiras, o detetive tenta de todas formas descobrir o que estava por trás disso e do cabeça do Cornucopia?
Apesar da multidão de personagens eram intensos e histórias macabras, a autora com sua mente sinistra conseguiu me prender e ficar imaginando como tudo aquilo se resolveria...
E meio a isso, a cada personagem e enigma desvendado a história cresce cada vez mais, tornando incrível e surpreendente.
Os diálogos são perfeitos, as ações me envolveram tanto que era como se eu adentrasse na pele de Carmine e ainda tentava imaginar o que se passava por trás de suas divagações. pela forma bonita dele se relacionar com a família.
Em tempo: Personagem Delia, me lembrou demais a Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto-Especialista Forense de NCIS). E me pego pensando como a mente fabulosa da autora criou personagens sinistros que nos apavoram só em imaginar e que embora fictícios, sabemos que existem mentes tortuosas capaz de fazer essas maldades.

I really like McCullough's other books - especially the Rome series, but also the Australians. This one is set in the US in the late '60s in an exclusive college in Connecticut (read Yale). The subtext of anti-feminism and in fact the plethora of negative women characters completely overshadowed any interest I had in the plot. The main character detective is a gratuitous chauvinist and the entire work is peppered with anti-male, bra-burning, hysterical, totally negative portayals of strong women. I would give her a pass in the context of the historic times, but the book was written in 2009 so the choice of period and tenor was McCullough's and I found it offensive. I was very disappointed.

Despite Colleen McCullough being one of my all-time favourite authors, I'm afraid this one went into the "Started, not finished" folder on my Kindle.
Whilst it started with a horrendous killing, it was really very slow after that, and despite the fact that I had never not finished a book before (I ploughed through even when I hated a book), I made the decision that life is really too short to suffer through something that doesn't grab me within the first 50 pages.

Too Many Murders (Carmine Delmonico, #2) by Colleen McCullough.
This was my first book by this author, although my mother loved her Thorn Birds series.
Captain Carmine Delmonico has a full plate and then some with 12 murders occurring on the same day. Are they related? Have they been committed by one serial murderer or many? Captain Delmonico and his team, consisting of Abe Goldberg and Corey Marshall, need all the brainstorming and sleuthing skills they can muster to unravel this overwhelming case(s).
I found the characters realistic and a great team working well together. In fact, it was a story that was hard to put down for a breather. A fabulous author with a terrific series that I intend to continue.

I liked the police part of the book, the mystery itself was a bit too much at the beginning with “too many murders.” Delmonico is a great character as are a couple of the side characters. Good conclusion, not as creepy as On, Off. Recommended.

This was a waste of time. I would never have bothered to finish it, but it was a pick for a bookclub so I persisted. Not a single character was interesting. I actually checked to see any mention of the author's personal stature since she made so much of the various heights and builds of the women in the story. Lots of detail about nothing important -- lots of information about what they were cooking for dinner, the dresses and shoes of the (unimportant to the story) women, etc. And a glaring anachronism!! A corpse found with nothing but a Mastercard -- which didn't exist in 1967! It only started in 1966 and it was not only rare, but called MasterCHARGE then. (Remember Chargex before it became Visa?)
Too much stuff crammed into this story, without enough story to hold it together. Avoid avoid avoid!

This was such a great mystery story. Though a couple parts were slow, I really wanted to find out the ending and could hardly lay it down. This would be a top read for the year and it would rate a five in spite of a few factors like the slow stuff, but the few instances of unbecoming language from the investigator (who was awesome I might add) which lowered the guy's great character made a 5 into a 4. I hate doing that since the storyline was gripping to me. The time setting was written wonderfully into the story. I loved all the good guy characters. Really got involved wit them. So so players were just so so and the bad Joes were distasteful greatly. Since the language I did not like was pretty rare, I want to read more of this series. I will have to backtrack on it, but will not mind.

A murder mystery set in Hartford Connecticut among big business and an elite college in the 1960's. 11 murders in one day, but they are connected along with the Cold War. An intricate story of suspense and espionage.
From the first reading of The Thornbirds, I was hooked on Colleen McCullough's work. Then, I discovered her series on Rome. Great historical fiction. But, the setting of this particular story does not jibe with the vocabulary used in the story. It is very British Empire. The main character is too feminine for the masculine role he holds in the story.
Not the best of McCullough's work.

Too many murders had too many characters who were not interesting at all. Except for maybe one page, I could have skipped between page 20 and 220 and have done fine. And actually, I skimmed the pages after that!
I read Tim and The Thorn Birds early on in Colleen McCullough's writings. This will probably be my last book that she's written that I will read.
I found it difficult to remember the characters, the scenes were forgettable and it just wasn't what I consider to be a good book. I kind of feel generous giving it a 1 star.

DNF, abandoned on page 220. I tried, I really did but this mess of a book is worth no one's time. I'm disappointed that McCullough wrote this junk. Her hero worship of her main protagonist is nauseating, the coincidences are unbelievable and the whole thing has too many characters that not even the author can keep track of. Whodunit? Who cares.
January 31, 2012
A very well written mystery with protagonists you can't help liking and admiring. It was a mystery clear to the finish, but also a deep involvement in relationships. Beautiful writing, intelligent writing and a flair for description and words.
September 10, 2012
audio -- Slow and I dislike when the investigators have no flaws and are perfect. I dislike the pace of the book and that there is no background to these gruesome murders. The victims here are the readers.
September 26, 2017
This book was difficult to read. Way too many characters. The middle part of the book was tolerable but did not compensate for the use of words that required a visit to the dictionary. If I could give this book less than 1 star, I would. It has turned me off from this author.
July 29, 2016
I ended up liking it more then I thought. It started out slow, but picked up by time and in the end I couldn't put it down.
April 26, 2016
Despite another rather bizarre plot this second book is a big improvement. I have ordered the third !
December 15, 2016
pretty good book. But a little too complicated with not enough explanation of what was supposedly going on
January 13, 2018
Too much unneeded description--read like wading through a swamp.....

Could I just simply say, 'Wow!' I have discovered Colleen McCullough.
The novel is a thoroughly enjoyable read. I didn't realise Too Many Murders is the second instalment in the Carmine Delmonico series until some point in the book, but it works well as a stand alone novel. The language style is fast-paced, intelligent and frank. It doesn't hinder on the gruesome details of murders, but focuses on finding who's done it - and there are plenty of suspects to go about guessing.
I also liked that the novel doesn't overwhelm the reader with too many description of places or clothes, etc. Everything in the novel is to the point and every word/sentence is relevant to the plot - I didn't feel like or wanted to skip any paragraphs to keep me going.
Everything from the opening line of the novel to the last sentence had me involved and I am very surprised that it hasn't been snatched for a film/TV adaptation. I will be definitely reading the rest of the series and other Colleen McCullough's works.
I would recommend.

I quite enjoyed this book, as usual I just rather randomly pick mystery books and this one was a very mysterious and quite a surprise as it came to a conclusion. I greatly enjoyed the cast of characters, which I found to be very well drawn and lots of people in the community...always of great importance to me as I would think it would be to anyone. As it is a story set in a community, it does involve a large cast of characters and they are all well fleshed out and so the story is also rich from the standpoint in my view. Also, as I found both the storyline and characters to be quite intriguing, I am greatly pleased to discover that I will have the opportunity to read more of Carmine and company. I found it to be a very worthwhile read and a lovely surprise in my random picks at the library.

I really enjoy crime/mystery novels in which the detective uses intelligence and commonsense as well as intuition to solve the crime. This novel gives the detective, Carmine Delmonico, an extra challenge. Twelve murders, all on the same day. Each is unique; different MOs, different weapons, no connection between the victims. Delmonico works his way through the maze of evidence, the secrets of the town's biggest employer, the clannishness of the prestigious university, and even the CIA. A real challenge! I loved following the twists and turns of the plot and getting to know the cast of characters. Delmonico is a likeable detective - sharp, determined, compassionate, yet tough. If you are a reader who likes to use your "little grey cells" you will enjoy this book.

Adoro Colleen McCullough, ma la preferisco di gran lunga in narrativa. Nei gialli questa sua vena si nota e la storia criminale si diluisce un po’, quasi si addolcisce.
Tanta, troppa carne al fuoco in questo romanzo. Comunque devo fare tanto di cappello all’Autrice che ha saputo gestire una situazione così ingarbugliata; una storia che, fra giochi di potere, gelosie e spionaggio, vede agire tantissimi personaggi e nelle situazioni più disparate.
Ogni tanto ci si infila un colpo di fortuna o una geniale intuizione, tutte cose che porteranno ad una ragionevole spiegazione finale.
Ma la storia potrebbe non finire qui... peccato però non siano stati tradotti gli altri volumi della serie.

This is the 1st Carmine Delmonico novel I've read. I hadn't realised that Colleen McCullough wrote murder mysteries as well as her Australian sagas and the Roman series. This one is quite a gripping tale. 12 murders are committed in a smallish town in 1 day. Right from the beginning, Carmine believes they are all linked, but the problem is, to find the master mind behind all of them. It is Carmine's dogged determination, plus the brilliance of his secretary, Delia, which finally put them on the right scent. A fascinating denouement, with Carmine's human, family element playing a big part in the unravelling of the story.

No ha sido de las mejores lecturas, pero siento que es un libro con una buena trama. Aunque un poco exagerada a mi parecer. Un poco tediosa en algún punto con muchos personajes y un protagonista que me no me cae bien. Pero con otros personajes integrantes con historias personales buenas. Pensé que llegaría a más pero tuvo el final que venía prediciendo desde el momento que nuestro querido Carmine entró a Cornucopia. Eso de que todo le sale bien al protagonista ya debería pasar de moda, pero bueno, por algo es el protagonista. Lastima que este sea un patán egocéntrico.

12 murders in one day in a college town of 150,000 is pushing the limits of believable. The methods of murder vary from shootings to poisonings, to death by a bear trap. Is Carmine Delmonico dealing with one murderer, or several? Did one person mastermind all the murders? And does a FBI investigation into espionage going on in a local armaments company have anything to do with the murders? I found it hard to keep all the victims straight, never mind how each died.

12 murders in one day in one small town was overwhelming for our hero detective and his small team, and it was overwhelming for me as well!
Trying to keep up with 12 murder victims, the various teams trying to solve them, and all of their families friends just proved to be a bit much for my poor brain. I finished the book, and it was a well written, very clever, intricate plot with some great twists, but it was tough to keep track!

This book was ok but I found it too slow for such an intriguing start. There wasn’t much action, a lot of inner thoughts and conversations between the main character and the too many characters. The wide range of “suspects” did not allow me as a reader to become invested in any of them so when the killer is identified (by luck really) there wasn’t that OMG I KNEW IT moment. It was just a oh… ok.. well I guess that’s that

Achei que ia ter um plot twist legal e no fim achei tão sem graça.... Os personagens são legais e acho que seria legal explorar a família do Delmonico!
Tem demasiados personagens e no fim achas que vai ser algo incrível e é um moço qualquer! Pulei as últimas páginas porque fiquei chateada!
Enfim leia se quiser mas passar 400 páginas para o final ser aquele e você se perder completamente nos 20 personagens que tem, nao sei se vale a pena!
