Частният детектив Рей Лъвъл се събужда в болнично легло с парализирана дясна ръка и празни петна в паметта. Спомня си, че е поел случая на мистериозно изчезналата Роуз Уд – следите на младата циганка се губят малко след нежеланата й сватба със загадъчния красавец Айво Джанко.Шест години по-късно бащата на Роуз наема детектива, защото се съмнява, че дъщеря му е убита от съпруга си или семейството му.
В хода на разследването си Рей се натъква на лъжите на потайния клан Джанко. Всички от фамилията с „чистата кръв“ твърдят, че Роуз е избягала с чужденец и е изоставила бебето си, родено с генетично заболяване. Майката пък има огромно рождено петно на врата.
До какви разкрития ще доведе това петно? Каква е трагичната история на семейство Джанко? От каква странна болест умират мъжките наследници още като деца или юноши? Защо Айво Джанко е единственият оздравял? Кой ще спечели от инцидента, при който е пострадал детективът? Какво означават думите на „изцеления“ в Лурд Айво – „живот за живот“ и имат ли общо с наскоро откритите човешки останки в разкопан цигански лагер?
„Невидимите“ е красива и вълнуваща история за измами, тайни и трагедии, разказана от изключителен майстор.“

I picked this book up because I am fascinated by gypsies, and I was excited to have found a novel about this elusive community of people (so much so that I was willing to slog through 400 of the slowest, most repetitive pages for even the slightest insight into this culture). The novel is a standard mystery novel, told from the point of view of Ray, a P.I., and J.J., a teenage gypsy. There is the search for a gypsy woman and a love story of sorts between the P.I. and one of the gypsy family
This is an epic novel about how secrets, deception and cultural intricacies can cause a lot of pain and long lasting anguish to people. A private investigator is hired to find a woman who disappeared six years ago from a Gypsy site. The story very much unfolds through his questioning and observations of the people who knew her best before she vanished, intertwined with the very moving sections told from the perspective of a fourteen-year old teenager, nephew of the missing woman's husband. The
This was really disappointing. I really enjoyed the Tenderness of Wolves but the Invisible Ones didn't live up to the earlier book for me.
Loved the story! It takes you into a world we know so little about, a world that still exists but has always been shrouded in mystery. At least for me ... I remember when I was a child, there used to be gypsies coming round to our town every year and make camp down by the river for a few days or weeks. It was also my and my friends' playground, but when the gypsies were in town, our mothers did not allow us to go there ... did not even allow us to leave the house by ourselves. Reading the book,
A very interesting story about the Romanies who are better known as gypsies. The book is about a missing woman. Her father hires a private investigator to find out why she went missing six years before. The story is told from two perspectives: the PI and JJ, the nephew of the missing woman. It is a very exciting book, and the mystery isn't solved until the very end. I was definitely fooled by it, too.
I read The Tenderness of Wolves when it came out (2007) and found it to be a good story that was marred by Penney's decision to change not only POV (which is fine), but from 1st to third person and also tense. Thankfully, she has abandoned this for The Invisible Ones, which instead switches between 2 POVs, both 1st person, which works fine. Oddly enough, this time I didn't care too much for the story. One main character is a baggage laden private detective (are there any other kind?), who is
