A good easy read ( )

So here it is: A serial killer story that (for me) tops them all...so far, of course.
Just reading the back of the book gives you a chill and immediately you want to know more...
The story is very dark, very unnerving. Over thirty successful and happy women goes missing without any trace. One minute they're living their lives as usual, going on about their business, then 'click' and they're gone!
Detective Heck's search for criminals & victims is so intense, that my heart was at full speed non-stop. The organisation he's dealing with is way beyond evil. I mean Jack the Ripper, Al-Qaeda & Charles Manson all in one. Although even they seem like bunny rabbits next to this lot.
Everything you read feels so real, that for a moment I was worried that if I continue on reading...they will come for me! And I'm not being funny but only a well written book can give you this kind of experience.
And finally, to top it all, it has a ''Chuck Norris moment'' in it, which I seriously did not expect.
A definite must read. ( )

A really good page-turning thriller, but not really my cup of tea. Basically far too much action and not enough detection. There is fight after fight after fight; all well described, but, for me, much too much emphasis on the blood and gore and much lingering over real nastiness. There is no doubt that the author has talent; but I doubt I will want to discover his further works.
I also think that plausibility is an issue throughout the book, we are carried along by the thrill of the chase, but, if we pause to reflect on the potential reality then - ho-hum. ( )

Eigentlich ein gutes und spannendes Buch. Leider wechselt der Autor nach dem höchst gelungenen Anfang das Thema, bzw. er legt sein Hauptaugenmerk auf den Ermittler. Ich persönlich fand den ersten Ansatz aber viel spannender und hätte mir mehr davon im Buch gewünscht. ( )

Spannend! Nur leider mit offenem Ende, was hoffentlich irgendwann in einem weiteren Buch weiterverfolgt wird. ( )
