Irène by Pierre Lemaitre

4.0

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.
