Review “The Broken Window” by Jeffery Deaver

The best kind of books are those that do not only tell a story, but have an underlying meaning and message. And this here, this is not only a truly brilliant crime novel that is well written and has the usual wonderful characters coupled with a clever concept and a ton of suspense, but also a deep lesson. Maybe it will make you a bit paranoid, but it will definitely teach you a thing or two about how careless we are with data about ourselves in the age of the internet and electronic banking. This novel provides great entertainment, sure; and it is a wonderful crime novel - but it is also important to read between the lines. And Deaver does not make it too complicated.

Conoscete il concetto di "finestra rotta" nella filosofia sociale?» L'ho imparato anni fa e non l'ho mai dimenticato. Il senso è che per migliorare la società ci si deve concentrare sulle piccole cose. Se le controllate, o le sistemate, allora seguiranno grandi cambiamenti. Prendete i quartieri con un alto tasso di criminalità. Potete investire milioni di dollari per aumentare le autopattuglie o installare videocamere di sicurezza, ma se questi quartieri continuano ad apparire degradati e pericolosi, resteranno degradati e pericolosi. Invece di milioni di dollari, spendetene migliaia per aggiustare le finestre, ridipingere le facciate, pulire gli androni. Può sembrare solo un'operazione cosmetica, ma la gente se ne accorgerà. Diventerà orgogliosa del luogo in cui vive. Comincerà a denunciare le persone che rappresentano una minaccia per gli altri e che non si curano delle loro proprietà.

In her defense, it had been a good plan when she'd done it. After all, despite what the Doctor had said, the TARDIS wouldn't be involved in events after the time connection thing was severed, right? The 51st century would no longer be connected to the 18th, and therefore he could jump back right after then and pick her up, right? It made sense when she'd jumped on the horse.

Then again, what really made sense was that she couldn't let him be the one trapped here. He had the TARDIS, between the three of them, he was the only one with a chance of finding a way back--and Emergency Programme or not, he was the only one who'd make sure at least Mickey would get back to her Mum. That program had never been tested on automatic, for obvious reasons. It might not work. More importantly, it meant he'd have his ship, and even if he couldn't get her, he'd still have a life. He'd never make it here on the slow path. And...she can handle herself in alien situations, she knows how to adapt and not get killed. She couldn't let Mickey be the one to be trapped here--it was his first trip out! Her plan was still a better one when it included the TARDIS re-materializing in the ballroom a few seconds after she saved the day. Or minutes. Or hours.

It's been almost six hours, all told. The Doctor hasn't come.

Still, it could be worse. She could be scheduled for a beheading or banishment or something for bursting through a mirror in the middle of a royal ball...event, dressed like a madman. Man probably being the operative word.

But no, she hasn't even been escorted out of the palace yet, so that's good. That makes it easier for the Doctor to find her once he manages to land in the proper century. (He's probably in 1658 right now...relatively).

Or maybe he's out there, in this time, landed on the wrong one of those stars through the window, caught up in an adventure as soon as he stepped out of the TARDIS.

Could he be looking up from one of those stars right now, looking for the one that's Earth?

...That's a bit dramatic, isn't it? No, he's probably just sitting an hour in the future, ruffling his hair apologetically.

I've just finished reading ''The broken window'' by Jeffery Deaver. I'd rate this book 8/10 I thought the storyline and the general idea behind the book is really clever and well thought of, It's based around Identity theft and a psychotic killer gets his hands on all the information he needs about his victims, and the person he plans to plant the evidence on, so he can get away with the perfect murder. the book is split into different viewpoints, you follow the story of the killer and the detectives attempting to solve the case, but as the detectives get closer 　to finding out who the killer is, he uses his power of knowledge to stop them. It's a great book, although some parts can become really boring as Deaver seems to go on for pages about Jargon and you just want to skip to the best bits, but overall it's a good read and I'd recommend you to read it!
