Well this was bloody and gruesome and since I read book 2 first(curse you Norwegian publishers) it wasnt that surprising! But it is a good and thrilling book!

En realidad un 4.5
Un homenaje a la novela negra impactante, estremecedor e impresionante. Ha sido una lectura que te atrapa, te estremece y te mete de lleno en la investigación aportándote pistas para que trates de conocer al asesino. Sin embargo, el final me hace preguntarme si realmente todo lo que pensé es tal y como se nos muestra. Le daría la nota perfecta pero hay cosas que no me gustaron, entre ellas la descripción con todo lujo de detalles de algunos escenarios.

If you love detectives slash serial killer thrillers slash police procedurals and you're not yet familiar with Pierre Lemaitre, then here's one for your wishlist. If you already read a number of classic murder novels; great. Chances are that you'll find a few of them in this policier, because the killer of this story loves to copy murders from some of those big titles. I actually recognized one of them before the insp.. Eh, commandant does. Camille Verhoeven is his name and what he lacks in size, he makes up in character. It's not difficult to foresee where things will eventually lead to, but the road to and the ending itself make this, imho, a must-read for fans of the genre(s). Pierre Lemaitre is something else.

Very gruesome and very boring as well. I don’t see what being gruesome adds to this story. I think some of the best works everything flows and has a purpose in the work, but in this book I was utterly confused as to what it adds. The writing it self really at times felt flat. This happened then this happened, it really lacked a flow. Eh what a waste of time I couldn’t even get to 100 pages in

The book flows really well and it's impossible to put down... I didn't particularly enjoy the writing style, which I felt was a bit clunky (the Italian translation). Camille is a very interesting protagonist, and I loved Louis.
The finale...

michael_k's review against another edition
Ο συγγραφέας για μια ακόμη φορά δεν απογοητεύει καθώς μας παραδίδει ένα αστυνομικό μυθιστόρημα καθηλωτικό, που αποτελεί έναν ανατριχιαστικό φόρο τιμής στη νουάρ λογοτεχνία.
Το μοναδικό μου παράπονο είναι τα τρελά spoiler που είχα ήδη φάει από τα προηγούμενα βιβλία καθώς η σειρά έκδοσης δεν είναι η ιδα με τη σειρά που επέλεξε ο εκδότης. Διαβάστε το Ιρέν πρώτο!
