“When this minefield found, White Crocodile here.” … “Seen here.”
Issues about wives being left by the husband and pregnant, abusive husbands. They had all been either missing or found dead. The author writes about those issues traumatically. At first, I just don't understand why the woman who gets killed beside the man who caused those women to suffer and the relationship of the minefield workers get killed. It is quite confusing about the plot but the characters play just fine.
The plot is slow and doesn’t give often clues about the white crocodile whether it is a myth come true or the person who is the killer behind the myth. I could level the mystery and the tension is half of the level/bar.
The situation in Cambodia is presented as raw and thriller. Contain 18+ things and F word. The author knows how to put the tension and serve a chill sensation. I adore it yet, another part is quite draggy.
‘… her father unaware that he had been driving a corpse for the last few kilometers of the journey to the hospital.’
