This was a good read, I liked the book. A new to me author, but based on this book I mightr try another one from this series or by his hand. It was no problem that I read this book first, being the 6th in the series. That's nice.

As I said, I liked the book, but there are a few minor things. Nearing the end, I got a little fed up with yet another murder, yet more secrets, yet another twist. It was enough already. It felt a bit like the author had a minimum number of pages to fill and that was his way to do that. What I found a bit strange was, that despite they asked a profiler to help them out, they did not wait till the official profile was ready and somehow got to the same conclusions. It was like the all knowing author forgot that psychiatrists & policemen are not the same. And somehow, the motives/arguments of the killer coincided with the laymen's ideas of the police and with the not-ready profile of the psychiatrist. For me that was too beautiful, too constructed.
Hence the slight lesser amount of stars, for the story in itself was a nice one. ( )

ordentlicher Julia Durant Krimi, ein paar Dinge sind aber sehr klischee-haft. ( )
