Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A thoroughly enjoyable crime novel. It's the setting that makes this one work, the Catalan city of Girona, and the simmering tension between Spanish and Catalan identity and language. The strong female lead character is a bonus, although Elisenda is haunted by the death of her young daughter, and is fighting prejudice and misogyny in her own department. OK, the general cast of characters are pretty generic to crime fiction, but the plot rattles along at a good pace, the body count is suitably and gruesomely high, and it opens readers' eyes to a new city. Definitely worth a read, and I will be setting off on the next two books very shortly. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
A page-turning crime thriller set in Catalonia. A killer is targeting figures of corruption in the Catalan city of Girona, with each corpse posed in a way whose meaning no one can fathom. Elisenda Domènech, the head of Girona's newly-formed Serious Crime Unit, believes the attacker is drawing on the city's legends to choose his targets, but soon finds her investigation is blocked at every turn. Battling against the press, the public and even her colleagues, she is forced to question her own values. When the attacks start to include less deserving victims, however, the pressure is suddenly on Elisenda to stop him. A gripping series sure to appeal to readers of Val McDermid and the Inspector Montalbano novels. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
