I thought it might be something like a werewolf and I was intrigued so I purchased ...

This book is very interesting. Dianne Gray writes a blog on Wordpress.com and I follow her posts regularly. I thought I'd read this book first because the title appealed to me. I had no idea what a wolf pear was. I thought it might be something like a werewolf and I was intrigued so I purchased the Kindle version and settled down to read it. It is a murder mystery thriller with some very cleverly thought out twists to the plot. We are introduced to Esther who is a most amazing character. Her family are very dysfunctional so we are drawn to feel sorry for her as she ploughs her way through the morass of family demands constantly made upon her. However, it would appear that Esther is more than she seems. She has buried a body in her garden. Enter a psychic detective who is trailing a man who he thinks has abused him when he was small and also killed his brother.
Throughout the book we are never quite sure who to trust and who to doubt. I recommend you try this book for Halloween. It's so good you won't be able to put it down.

We meet Esther Crooke, the heroine of Dianne Gray's Wolf Pear (Amazon Digital Services 2011) as she is burying a dead body in her backyard. As she finishes, her family arrives for a short visit and spends most of the time berating her for being overweight and single. This despite Esther's success at starting and running her own bakery. We quickly find out Esther is part of a very odd family.

"He promised to return it [something Esther's father borrowed] and must have driven by that afternoon and thrown it out of the car window on his way past because he couldn’t be bothered stopping. He always did things like that."

Her sister allows her baby to fountain urine into the air while she's changing him--and thinks it's cute. Her mother tries to match-make Esther wth an ex-con by inviting him to breakfast at Esther's house:

"Danny Thurlong scratched at his egg-shaped head. His hair was cut short at the top and stringy... Danny agreed as a piece of toast flicked from his mouth back onto his plate."

I cheered when Esther rejected Danny:

"‘It’s been nice meeting you, but it’s time to leave and please don’t come back.’ His mouth hung open like a cave. ‘But, I fought…’ ‘Don’t think. Just leave.’"

Luckily, she does get relief from this odious family while working, though the dead body buried in her garden continues to haunt her.

But Esther isn't the whole story. There's JD, the troubled policemen taking a compassionate leave in an effort to make peace with the murder of his brother. JD, who can't stand human touch but can talk to dead people, voices that seek him out, begging him to bring justice to their murderers. Despite being on vacation from work, he quickly realizes that the man who killed his brother is a serial killer and it's up to JD to stop him.

Both JD and Esther are appealing multidimensional characters. They have guts and humility despite their inter-personal problems. Besides creative plotting and strong storytelling skills, what sets Gray's writing apart is her rich descriptions, like few I've read:

"Mossy rocks and bird-catching spider-webs marred his path. Parrots exploded from the trees like green and red fireworks. The only narrow corner he could find wasn’t as narrow as he expected. It was deep and traversed by a dirt road used by anglers to launch small dinghies."

"...trees like tired soldiers tranquilly watched him pass without a breath of wind."

Highly recommended for those who like understanding the people behind the story.

Wolf Pear

2013年5月3日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

The reader has no idea whether or not the two main protagonists in Wolf Pear , JD Cusack and Esther Crooke, will ever meet. Both characters so mistreated as children, you hope that the something in the story will turn out well for them.

Poor Esther, fat, lonely, and constantly tormented, has worked her way into a very successful business with her best friend, Sandy in spite of having a despicably hateful family. JD, with his special talents to see beyond the normal, has become a top federal police officer. Both Esther and JD are haunted by their pasts as well as their present circumstances. Neither of them realize the danger that await them.

The novel opens with Esther burying a man that she has killed. To hide him, she plants tomatoes on his grave. The tomatoes grow exceeding well bringing her unsolicited notoriety and fame, and more agitation from her family. JD's brother has been murdered, and JD takes time off to "relax", and runs into to more bodies and unsolved cases away from home as he privately seeks his brother's murderer.

The pace is fast, and once you start this short novel, you won't want to put it down until you find out "who done it!" I did learn what a wolf pear was before the end, but I did not figure out the mysteries, so don't cheat and read the end first - that's not fair. See if you can do better than I did. :)

Wolf Pear is a captivating read

2014年10月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

First let me say I thoroughly enjoyed reading Wolf Pear by Dianne Gray. She took two almost completely different stories and let them converge into a wonderful complete book.

One thing that amazed me was how the author used so many characters, kept them separated and gave each a distinct personality that I could relate to. I also liked the use of main characters that don't fit the norm for today's writing.

The story kept the tension and anticipation of the outcome in question until then end. The two main characters JD Cusack and Esther Crookes are completely different but each filled with past secrets and the Wolf Pear drew them closer and closer together.

I would highly recommend this book to readers of mysteries, suspense and those that enjoy a good story. I will be reading more of Dianne Gray's works.

Read this fantastic Aussie book now!!

2012年10月3日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I did not expect that!

I stumbled across Dianne's books by accident, it wasn't even through Goodreads, but when I learnt that not only was she an Aussie, but a multi-award winning author, I had to give her work a try.

I was not disappointed!

The plot was intricate, but easy to understand, it had murder, mystery, paranormal themes and even a tiny bit of romance.

The characters were brilliantly written. I loved Esther, she was so thoroughly unique and not perfect it made the book perfect. JD was full of surprises. I didn't see some of the plot twists coming, but they worked!

I loved the truly Aussie flavours of this book, the outback, the personality of the locals, the weather, the laid-back style. It was country Australia at its best.

I hated Esther's parents and family, but it added to the story. I would have probably murdered them several times if they were my family.

The action in this book is constant, it has many different genre facets, but I don't think it could possibly fail to deliver a delightful read, no matter what your preferred genre of reading is.

Pick up Wolf Pear today! It was a fantastic, rollercoaster of a ride.

Really engaging read

2013年6月19日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

The book starts with a woman burying a body in her yard, and the intrigue doesn't let up from there. The chapters alternate between two point-of-view characters. First there's Esther Crookes, a lonely woman, unattractive by society's standards, who is ridiculed by her family and longs for something more. Complicating her life is the body she just buried in her yard. Next is JD Cusack, a well-respected police detective with his own secret, one that gives him a special skill that acts as both a gift and a curse. Each chapter hooked me in by revealing just enough in each of these two characters' lives to keep me turning the pages long after I should have moved on to something else. Really hard to put down! At the climax, these two interesting characters finally cross paths for a satisfying and well-drafted ending. I really enjoyed this book and very much recommend it.

Esther, Esther, What does your garden grow?

2013年1月21日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Esther and JD are the main characters in this story. Esther is an emotionally abused single woman who has been caught up in something bigger than herself. JD is a detective that has paranormal gifts to see the dead...kind of like The Sixth Sense. Yikes! He is looking for the serial killer that killed his brother, and it leads him to Esther, the girl who grows huge, abnormal tomatoes in her eerie garden.

Wolf Pear is a suspenseful tale that will lead JD and Esther on a journey to justice and truth. The author gave just enough detail in each chapter to pull you along in the mystery without giving away the killer's identity. I loved the grim mood and the insights into the characters that this novel gave me along the way. Great read.

take a trip

I feel like I've been on a trip but no, I've just read Wolf Pear. Many times when I go on holidays I fall in love with the place and think oh, it would be so good to just stay. Reading Dianne Gray's novel, it's the same, I fell in love and made new friends, enjoyed the miles & twists & turns of the journey, and despite the deaths and Esther's horrible family I wanted to move to Boonup. I knew I was going to enjoy this read, but I didn't realise how much.

Awesome read

I have just finished Wolf Pear and the last couple of chapters of this book I could not stop reading. Dianne Gray has a unique Australian style all of her own. The characters jump off the page and I feel like I have met them all before somewhere. If you like a serious adult murder mystery with a slight paranormal edge. You will enjoy this read. I am going back for more, as Dianne has many other novels to choose from and Im am hooked.

Read this book!

2012年9月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Read this book! The opening scene sets the tone of mystery and suspense that pervades the rest of the book. Esther buries a body, and our discovery of how this corpse found its final resting place in the garden of a frumpy but gritty bookshop owner is interwoven with the story of JD, a psychic detective, who is on the trail of a serial killer.

This well-crafted book explores the dark recesses of the dual protagonist's lives as they interact with a world of crazy family members, oblivious law enforcement officers, and restless spirits of the dead.

The ending ties everything together in a most unexpected but satisfying way.

I repeat: Read this book!

Great characters and a weirdly entertaining story

In Wolf Pear, Dianne Gray gives us a fascinating story of family dynamics, horticulture, the paranormal and murder. She makes us love the quirkiness of all the characters while still keeping a grim tone to the entire story. I liked it so much I bought the other books listed at the end.

This story was easy to read but that does not mean it was not a complex story. The characters seemed real and their problems realistic. I enjoyed the "magical" part. Read it yourself to find out what it was!
