Relation Toward Books Suspension

A great mystery/thriller dealing with a conspiracy by a group of ex-Confederate Army veterans to destroy New York's Brooklyn Bridge. Mr Crabbe steeps the reader in the atmosphere of 1880's America as a police detective, Tom Braddock, tries to foil the plot, following the death of one of the bridge building crew who knew too much. Along the way we are introduced to a wealth of colourful characters, including a small group of Confederate Army veterans hell bent on blowing up the bridge, and the handful of New York police officers trying to stop them. Most of the latter are mixed in with corrupt policeman, gathering kickbacks from various parts of the city, with even the "hero" is guilty of this crime. Braddock and his partners work amidst the seamier side of late 19th Century New York. We also meet the Roebling family - Washington Roebling, the civil engineer (whose father, John designed the bridge) and his amazing wife Emily Warren Roebling who made a significant contribution to the completion of the bridge after her husband fell ill. (Emily's name, along with those of her husband and father-in-law is inscribed on a plaque on the Brooklyn Bridge). Mr Crabbe has written a great historical fact/fiction thriller which will delight a wide selection of readers. Recommended.

Weigh Up Of Books Suspension

The book is set around the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, and it was an interesting insight into a time period and event that I was not very familiar with. However, I found the plot and writing in general to plod along. The author kept forshadowing events such that you either knew exactly what was going to happen, or were left wondering if the suggestion would ever come to make any sense. He also put the intentions of characters into doubt such often and in contradicting ways that even at the

This is quite an interesting story set in the post Civil War era in New York during construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. The basic tale is a plot by a group of disgruntled former Confederate soldiers to destroy the bridge and the efforts of a policeman (who is also battling corruption both within himself and within the police force) to ferret out and thwart the plot.The characters are quite well developed and complex (with the good not entirely good and the bad not entirely evil) and there is a

I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy mysteries and thrillers. Suspension is centered around the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and follows the life of police detective Tom Braddock. Braddock finds a bridge worker murdered in an alley, and as he begins to investigate the murder, it unfolds into a deeper conspiracy. Soon, he realizes that thousands of people's lives are in danger as a group of angry ex-confederate soldiers plot to destroy the bridge. This novel was very interesting

excellent

A great historical fiction/mystery/suspense story. Set at the end of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, the main focus is a group of ex-confederate soldiers planning to destroy the bridge. There is historical detail in the writing without seeming like a history book. The characters are well drawn and memorable, and their conflicting emotions regarding what they are doing are expressed well. There are some sub-plots which serve to define the characters and their behavior, particularly those

I liked this book because of the setting but I wish the characters had been further developed. Overall I enjoyed it but this is really my favorite genre, along the lines of Caleb Carr but without the same level of writing talent.

Great book, makes me want to learn more about the Brooklyn Bridge and if there really were sabotage attempts on it.
