SUSANNA YAGER ON NEW CRIME FICTION
The disappearance of a child at the start of a crime novel is generally followed by a frantic hunt for a kidnapper/serial killer, with predictable scenes of baffled police following a succession of false leads to crank up the tension. In Red Leaves (Quercus, pounds 12.99) Thomas H. Cook shows what can be done with this familiar plot in the hands of a skilful and subtle storyteller. The little girl in this case vanishes from her home while her parents are out, and the teenage boy who was babysitting is the obvious suspect.

Cook churns out another killer crime thriller
That is the premise for [Thomas H. Cook]'s latest crime thriller, \"The Interrogation,\" set in the noir world of a 1952 big city precinct house. Cook crams a half-dozen major characters into this half-day, all of whom have their own underlying motivations at work, making it one of his more complex thrillers. As usual, Cook handily serves up his share of plot twists and turns with some nice writing. If you've never read Cook, pick up \"The Interrogation,\" and then read backward into his library. If you have read Cook before, chances are you've already bought this one, too.
