Apparently
Scandi-Crime is o-v-e-r. It’s all about French Crime now. And you heard it here
so give me credit when it happens thank you please.
Hold on to your
wig and definitely don’t read after a meal because you will probably gag. This
book is incredibly raw, violent and gory so be prepared, but don’t let that put
you off because it’s a really good story. There are twists and turns galore
here, from the first page to the big reveal twist at the end. There is a really
good and even mix of the story of the victim – Alex -, and the story of the
police who attempt to help her and solve the mystery of what happened.
If you don’t
usually read crime novels then I really recommend this title because I did
actually really enjoy it. Then again, if you do read crime novels then give
this a go – apparently there’ll be plenty more in the series – and I think they
will be a really good series to invest yourself in.
Back blurb time:
“Alex Prevost –
kidnapped, savagely beaten, suspended from the ceiling of an abandoned
warehouse in a wooden cage – is running out of time. Her abductor appears to
want only to watch her die.
Apart from a
shaky eyewitness report, Police Commandant Camille Verhoeven has nothing to go
on: no suspect, no leads. To find the young woman, the detective – a man with a
tragic past and extraordinary abilities as an investigator – must first
understand more about her.
Beautiful,
tough, resourceful, always two steps ahead – the enigma that is Alex will keep
Verhoeven guessing till the bitter, bitter end. Before long, saving Alex’s life
will be the least of Verhoeven’s considerable challenges.”
