Reader Comments
Extremely well written with compelling characters and a well woven plot.
This is a wonderfully surprising novel. It takes the usual mystery formula and turns it on its head, being more concerned with the identity of the victim rather than of the killer. And that's without counting some of the strongest writing in the most literary sense that I have come across in some time or the historical and social realities of modern day Europe brought vividly to life.
