Alex is a crime thriller novel, second book in the Brigade Criminelle (Camille Verhoeven) trilogy.
Won't say much about this novel to not spoil anyone's read. But, I think it was better than Irene, and that is a lot to say. We meet Commandant Camille Verhoeven again a few years after the events in the first book. We follow him as soon as he is asigned the case of the kidnapping of a woman. He doesn't want to lead the case but he is forced by his superior Le Guen. There are very little clues as to the identity of the kidnapped woman. There was only a witness who saw a man taking her into a white van and then dissappear. No one else saw anything and the case seems an impossible one.
Opinion: it was mind blowing. The twists were brilliant and the ending though brutal and hard was satisfying. I liked Camille's character development and maybe also the relationship with his colleagues Armand and Louis. But the best in my opinion was Alex, everything about the character was gripping, interesting, thought provoking and more.
I got my edition from my local public library. It was published by Quercus publishing in 2013. It has 354 pages.
