A review by naimfrewat
L'hiver Des Lions by Marie-Claude Auger, Jan Costin Wagner

4.0

I loved this book, I loved the writer. I didn't know it's another volume in a Kimmo Joentaa series; this doesn't diminish it's worth one bit. It's not a procedural police story and nothing wrong-footing the reader will be revealed in the end. The pleasure one gets from this book comes from the crude and honest portrayal of the characters; crude in that descriptive words barely make their presence which fits nicely on the winter atmosphere of Finland. Honest in that the ideas that take shape in someone's head are rarely linearly connected nor does their formulation into words makes them more meaningful.
I didn't mention the plot in my review because it doesn't matter. Which is why I will buy another book from this writer; his rendering of the conscience of the characters is what interests me.
