daybreakreads's review against another edition
There were also a large number of negative references made against Arabs and Muslims. At first I thought it was to give context to the charactersâ terrible personalities, but there was another time that was just pure narration. One person asked another a question, and the question was described being, âas riddled with mines as a supply road in the Middle East.â
Honestly, as a Muslim, I donât care if this author doesnât like us (I certainly would not feel comfortable being alone with him or having him around any children I know) but it didnât affect the plot in the slightest, so it seemed strange to be constantly added.

Nevertheless, it is extremely (sometimes unnecessarily) graphic, dark, brutal and gory.Â
-----------
Die Story an sich war gut. Leider fand ich die deutsche Ăbersetzung manchmal sehr eigenartig. Mit Thulin (weiblicher Hauptcharakter) wurde ich nicht warm, Hesse mochte ich dafĂźr recht gerne. Die Story war ganz gut, zog sich aber an manchen Stellen. FĂźr meinen Geschmack ist das Buch teilweise aber sehr grausam und brutal.Â

This book contains mentions of graphic child abuse, physical and sexual. Many people are murdered and it is mentioned in detail due to the main characters being detectives.tomato_bisque's review against another edition

Overall, I thought the book was fun and fast-paced. It does get into over-the-top territory on occasion though. The two detectives were not that interesting but the book is more about the plot than anything, so it does not take away from the story all that much. I will probably be reading the next thing this author writes.Â
