5.0
הספר האחרון (אולי יהיו עוד? אני מקווה) בסדרת ספרי החוקר אברהם אברהם, הלוזר המתחבט מחולון. זה הספר הטוב שבהם. שוב אנחנו נחשפים לסיפור הבלשי ולסיפור החקירה במקביל אבל הסיפור כאן עמוק יותר ונוגע ביצר האנושי לדעת הכל או לא לדעת דבר. כמו בספרים הקודמים לא הכל פתור, אבל אלו החיים ואלו הגיבורים של הספר ויפה שכך.

Crime fiction yes, but Israeli crime fiction? A bit different, certainly. I have only recently discovered this author but am really pleased I have. The books are not as gripping as some crime fiction but they do give a really interesting and insightful portrayal into the police procedures in a different part of the world.
This is a good solid police procedural and there’s a lot to discover about A Avraham, his home life and his struggles to move up at work and not endure the wrath of his colleagues. I enjoyed his story and at first wasn’t sure who Mazal was and why she was so important to the story so that did make me a little impatient. Having said that, everything comes right in the end.
I found the two threads of the story and how they wound together a very satisfying read and although the plot is quite sedate and the character studies are what really works here, it’s the setting and the dusty streets and unfamiliarity of it all that really made me want to read more from this author.

3.6 - the good ending covers for the heavy flow and a minimal plot.

2.5 stars. Interesting read that feels exciting only because you want to discover the mystery of the motive of the killer but in the end, who really knows what his real motive was...It was purely assumption since the killer couldn't really say why he did what he did. Terrible ending.
