The story follows Camille Verhoeven, a Commandant from the Parisian police. He is married and lives a stable live. Only problem with him is, he is too aware of his short stature though he tries not to show it to his colleagues. Camille is called to investigate the murder of two girls. The crime scene is so disturbing most police officers cannot stay there more than a few seconds. Through the investigation Camille and his team are able to connect the murder with two more. One in France and one in Scotland. Moreover they are sure the killer is the same and that he is copying the brutal murders from classic crime novels.
Opunion: An excellent, gripping novel. Well written. Short, quick chapters. This is the kind of novel I could have read in one long sitting had I had the chance, and time, and energy. Excellent protagonist, very well presented, a likable character. The villain a mean, twisted mind. The plot, a puzzle, so clever and interesting. And the ending is.. ahhhhhhhhhh! 😨😲 I want to continue with the trilogy so I'll probably grab the second book soon.
I got my edition from my public library. Published by Quercus publishing in 2014 with 398 pages.
I have not been in the mood to update this blog. Maybe because I am enjoying so much my readings (and want to read rather than write here) or just because because. ... I'm kind of forcing myself to at least leave a short entry about my recent read, to keep my records up to date.
